So I've noticed that dueling anyone with an auto rifle is a sure way to die. Scout rifle versus them work, but as is the rate of fire is hardly anything compared to the auto. On top of that versions are included with 44 shots and even extreme rof.
Yes if u have well placed shots and a target that's exposed for a time a scout can stand, but let's say, scout vs scout and auto vs auto. Two controls as I would put it, the scout battle will last longer than the auto battle. Especially iron banner players.
Guys I've been seeing several threads stating that certain "brands" of auto rifles just decimate any target terribly quick. Aka easy and no learning curve. How can u counter or even begin to think about it when u get ur shield down and headshotted in the same instance!?!
I really think that if auto rifles are gonna fast kills, that their recoil that should be noticeable more. Their bullet spread is literally like lazer beamz!!
Plz give bak thoughts!

I sort of agree, however before you keep reading consider that I have not spent as much time as some others that played crucible, but I did play quite a bit (mostly iron banner). I tried using auto rifles, and at the very beginning when you first get to choose a weapon at the tower gunsmith it is the best by far. However I played the game to the cap and had never touched the auto rifle again since the very beginning. I used the scout rifle for PVE and PVP and found myself at the top of my team, and I am not even that good at other shooters. I loved that weapon and even used the hand cannon effectively for a little while in PVP with great success. I was easily winning gunfights at medium to long range and even won a few by halo jumping around people and no scoping them. I never had any problems with the auto rifles. The shot gun trumps it up in their personal bubble and the others can beat it long range if you are paying attention considering the time to kill at long ranges. Moral of the story, I had no problems with auto rifles, you just need to know how you gun is meant to be used and play to your strengths.
