I'm really surprised that fusion rifles aren't used more now, because they are an extremely good counter to the big 3 shotguns. Yeah they can't snipe anymore after the nerf, but people who try to rush you with shotguns don't know how to deal with someone who backs up and then blasts them in the face with a fusion rifle. They are extremely effective in mid range. Edit: For all the smartasses talking about how much they use vex and queen breakers bow, we're talking about fusion rifles that can't do precision damage here.
