Nobody will use the Breach.
100 less DPS than the normal AR.

Yeah, we all know the breach needs a buff. Let's just not have a repeat of beta

Here how it would most likely play out if that were to happen:

AR is OP legit.
*dispersion is increased* *people move to the SR because it hasnt changed*

*SR is now deemed OP for some reason*
OMG screw Scramble Rfles, too accurate.
*increased recoil and dispersion* (lol for a gun that shoots lasers why does it even have recoil anyways)

*People then pick up ARs again*
AR's OP, too good against shields.
*nerf to shield damage*

*Shotgun is FOTM*
Shotgun Thread
*nerfd back into oblivion*

*people go back to roadkilling everything*
Constant QQ about LAV's
*CCP removes LAV's altogether for "re-balancing"*

*Sub Machine Gun is FOTM*
Sub Machine Gun is too powerful.
*base damage nerf*

*Lazer rifles make a come back*
Laser rifle is the best infantry ranged weapon.
*CCP now make it useless again by decreasing its range*

*Now we cant carry enough ammo to kill one person*
CCP acknowledges this with a vague post that doesnt really reveal or confirm much of anything.
*Shield and Armor capacity is ninja nerfd 24 hours after the dev post*

*Sniper Rifles can OHK everything now*
People complain about MCC/Redline snipers.
*...nothing happens...*

*maps now seem even more desolate because of the new effective ranges of all weapons*
All firefights except those with forges and snipers must be withing 20 meters to do damage/hit an enemy.
*CCP realizes this an therefore decreases all skirmish maps by 1/2*



.... and thats as far as my minds eye will let me see.

No, the Breach is the equivalent of the Rail Rifle. The Burst AR is the equivalent of the Combat Rifle.
