AR's have much less recoil and have much less of a damage penalty to shields. The trade for this (currently) is that an SR has more bullets in a clip (which is countered by higher recoil) and an aiming reticule (which is only a temporary advantage). AR's also have officer varients. I use the SR but the AR is equally as impressive if not better for the soul reason that it does major damage to armor tanked units as opposed to the SR which does MUCH less to armor. As for base damage the AR is only 1 or 2 damage less then the SR.
Honestly I think the AR is too good at its job.
Look at it like this. Its supposed to do "alright" against any type of enemy. The jack of all trades in weaponry. Yet it does sooo much damage. I really believe AR's should do less damage, but only when other assault weapon varients are released. For example, whenever they release an answer to armor tanking (the opposite of the SR) that's when they should think about reducing the base damage of the AR by a couple points. Now im not saying the AR is OP but I do think its a little too much of a crowd pleaser right now. Its the "safe" gun in the game, and I don't think any gun/suit load out should be "safe" in a game like this. |

Mainly it comes down to SP cost for effectiveness:
The SCR needs proficiencys, an amarr assault dropsuit, and damage mods to perform really well and in only certain situations, whereas the duvolle, can be used as is, yet shines in a much larger variety of situations.
The amar suit doesn't benefit the ASR or SR right now, so it doesn't matter which suit you fit them on to. |

The only thing I like about the ASR over the AR is that it feels like im actually firing a gun. and that's probably because of the recoil it has, not because its any more or less effective. When I shoot the AR it feels like a BB gun. |

The duvolle faces the same issue, hip fire is comeplete rng these days with a massive kick compared to the ASCR
Your insane if you think the AR has more kick then the ASR...... |
