[quote]An assault rifle that fires that fast should not be that accurate.

Slightly more than 13 damage per headshot at 900 RPM == 20 damage per headshot at 600 RPM. Without Perfect Balance, they kick much more than lower RoF models do with no benefit other than slightly higher aim assist values and slightly more damage per clip. For them to be markedly less accurate, there first has to be a benefit to using them through that inaccuracy. Lowering the accuracy further would, in fact, objectively decrease the balance among fire rates. Also, all those guns you listed have different rates of fire. In fact, you listed MORE with SLOW rates of fire than high ones. So, basically, you have a problem with any Auto Rifle being accurate. Well, there are reasons for this. Atheon's Epilogue and Doctor Nope have the same TTK as all the other Auto Rifles. Why use them if they kicked a lot more? Shadow Price/Vanquisher are more accurate than comparable base models because they have less Range. Shingen-E and Silver Hushwind D aren't all that accurate without Stability upgrades. With them, they are pretty accurate but not exactly lasers at long range; they are also Rare weapons, losing a perk slot. Suros Regime with no upgrades is a sucker's weapon. Even with Linear Compensator, it only deals 5% more damage than Perfect Balance Shadow Price, which isn't enough to save a single bullet in most encounters. A waste of an Exotic slot, unless you have no other Exotics, at which point it would be considered a slight upgrade. Please tell us WHY you think Auto Rifles with a higher rate of fire should be less accurate than lower rate of fire weapons, when they take just as long to kill with them. Even with Perfect Balance, they are less accurate than lower rate of fire variants with Perfect Balance. They gain slightly more damage per clip and aim assistance to offset this. Even then, if anything, high RoF Auto Rifles are slightly UP, not OP. Unless you can demonstrate through FACTS, math and statistical analysis that something is broken, your opinion has little validity.
