Take a look at damage falloff for Pulse Rifles
Fast forward to 6 minutes if you want to see the pulse rifle part specifically.
This is a very interesting video and I want to know what you guys think. For me it is very hard not to cry nerf after seeing something like this because I'm sure we all want primary weapons to do just as good. But why was this added to the game? It seems like Bungie doesn't know what they're doing with this weapon type at all.
For those who can't see the video here's the link below:

"Pulse Rifle is optimal at medium range, but can still effectively engage enemies at close or medium-long range Pulse Rifles should feel strong in PvP, but don’t become the only competitive option" This is exactly what Bungie said they wanted out of pulse rifles back in December 2015. Their first point has definitely been achieved. You can engage enemies at any distance with a pulse now. Unfortunately they have become SO good at close and long range (especially with HCR) that they are failing at point 2.
