If your running Focused Fire or whatever the perk is called, the one that reduces RoF but increases damage prepare to be laughed at and slaughtered every time you come across someone as the gun with that perk will likely only head shot for about 24 damage, which is less damage than an at launch Shingen-C without focused fire and that thing shot a hell of a lot faster to boot. TTK on just about every variation of Auto Rifle since launch has been reduced by up to and over 40% making them some of the slowest killing weapons in the game. The only way I see Auto Rifles becoming even remotely useful is if they all received a perk unique to that class of weapons that Increased Precision Damage after consecutive Precision hits, could just name it something like Double Tap. Example at least in PvP.... Something like Shadow Price which only does what like 22 damage a head shot follow up shots would go as followed as your laying into someone. HS1: 22 HS2: 25 HS3: 28 HS4: 31 HS5:34 At which the damage would cap out, as to not make it too powerful and then when that target dies the damage buff stayed active for a good 3-5 seconds allowing you to immediately begin doing that 34 damage to a secondary target.
