Dude, Autos in general are going to be in the same .7-.9s Primary TTK window as Legendary weapons after the 10% buff.
From .93-~.837s Crits and from 1.13 (low Armor)/1.2 (High Armor)-1.017-1.08s Body -High RoF Autos
From 1.00-.9s Crits and from 1.2-1.08s Body -Lightweight (Abyss/Vindicator)/Stable (For The People/Low Down) Archetype Autos
From 1.06-~.954s Crits and from 1.33-1.197s body - High Impact Autos.
This means that with less range comes more killing potential and generally harder to use.
Right now Scouts are getting Quality of Life buffs to PvP that don't effect TTK, HandCs are becoming harder to use but remain just as lethal and Pulses are becoming harder to use with only a few getting a TTK hit.
So, yeah, Autos are becoming viable, none of the above will be god-tier, and damage has an inverse relation to Range allowing for more freedom in playstyle choices.
Excitement is to be had!
