Auto rifle range could use some up-to-date tuning.

Scroll down if you just want to see my suggestions. To clarify, these changes also help them in pve. Auto rifle range is something that has not been tuned since I believe year 1 and that was only for 450s. What has happened because of this lack of tuning, is that auto rifles have a large gap between their range floor and range cap. Like handcannons, I believe increasing their floor to be closer to the cap will give auto rifles more viability even on lower stat roll options. 600s that have a range stat lower than any of the exotic 600s can floor at around 23 meters (excluding the crappy iron banner perk which drops it further) which is kind of bad. A god rolled gnawing hunger, because of it's stats alone, can get up to about 29.5-30 meters before it starts to experience any damage fall off. This is a tremendous gap in range and severely hurts any new 600s chances if they are not up to par and it will only feel like a downgrade going forward once gnawing hunger is gone. 720s and 360s are in a somewhat similar boat but a lot of their higher range options are difficult to use due to their recoil on console, so finding one that shoots comfortably at higher ranges is impractical with our current power viable options. So they should update them to be more in line with themselves. Example: 600s Range: 25 meter floor, 28 meter cap. 50 range is the floor. 70 is the cap (I don't think anything but adept summoner with a range masterwork, adept range mod and full range can go beyond gnawing hungers max of 85). 720s Range: 21 meter floor, 24 meter cap. 450s Range: 29 meter floor, 32 meter cap. 360s Range: 33 meter floor, 36 meter cap. Sorry I don't give specific range values for the other autos, 600s are the only ones I have recorded data for and all of my expired weapons are gone so testing them wouldn't be easy. Also keep in mind, that bungie is very unlikely to produce auto rifles with variable scopes anymore so there won't be crazy jumps in range. Let me know what you guys think.
