A couple things to keep in mind:

GÇó Range profiles are indicative of a weaponGÇÖs range compared to other weapons in its class. For example, the Rail Rifle has the longest range of the weapon variants in its class (the Assault Rifle, Combat Rifle and Scrambler Rifle being the others) but its range is not equivalent to that of the Sniper Rifle, another railgun-based weapon.

GÇó Where necessary, there are some exceptions to the established race conventions. The Plasma Cannon, for example, operates well beyond the short ranges of conventional plasma weaponry.

Its ok, HMG users can't understand why they shouldn't do a million dmg per second (you know because they have a ton of bullets and a crazy high RPM but whatever)

They will tell us ARs are suppose to be short range with a smile.

You're right, I can't understand it.

It's an HMG, they saw buildings in half IRL.

It makes no sense, honestly.

So 2/4 short range weapons arent short range nice CCP well done (cant count TBA yet)

heres looking forward to the new laser heavy weapon then...

if its short range im running Tonberry from then on out

I agree that until the Rail Rifle comes that Tac AR's should exist but once RR's come the Tac needs to go and then the same with the burst and the Combat Rifle.

Ok, why would you bring real life into this game? It can't exist in universe, it would ruin lots of cool stuff we get that we can't possibly have in real life.

look i can requote stuff too

Are we using english?

If so proceed to look up the definition of an HMG

Guess thats why we see tons of HMGs on the battlefield.

Its not like all servicemen use Automatic Rifles...nope HMGs are the most powerful weapon so all soldiers should carry them.

Oh and rocket launchers, those things are hella powerful.

how is that ignoring it? and in no way does that mean an AR change won't be coming

Ok, I edited my last post to say I'm sorry.

That being said, don't soldiers carry LMGs and not HMGs?

I agree that until the Rail Rifle comes that Tac AR's should exist but once RR's come the Tac needs to go and then the same with the burst and the Combat Rifle.

There already is a racial varient of the TAC AR, It's called the Scrambler Rifle.

Breach = Rail Rifle

Burst = Combat Rifle.

You do know the rail rifle will be like the breach AR. The SCR is supposed to be like the tac rifle.

its in the Anti-Infantry part. LMGs are AI. HMGs are used for tank (see vuilcan cannon on the A-10 warthog)
I also sight the gatling gun and Minigun as multibarrelled LMGs. also every few hundred shots LMG barrels are changed out (mid-Battle) so they are multi-barreled as well technically

You do know the rail rifle will be like the breach AR. The SCR is supposed to be like the tac rifle.

I get your meaning, and it does make sense. But you have to admit that if a heavy machine gun is easy for a heavy to carry, then non-heavys should be able to carry actual Light machine guns.

So, HMGs are the LMGs of the future. Then what are the ARs? Sure they would have advanced the tech beyond a larger mag?

Again, I'm not here to argue I just wanna point out that ARs shouldn't be nerfed into oblivion just because alot of people use them.
