burst rifles:
- burst rifles are easily the best guns in the game, high accuracy, high alpha damage, high DPS, great damage falloff stats, viable at all ranges, with a tiny weakness up close
- balancing the weapon by DPS,RoF or recoil is very hard and place burst rifles back on the UP/OP swing
Proposed nerf - reduced magazine ammo capacity:
- preserves the direct power level and the ‘feel’ of the burst rifles (which is good atm)
- pushes burst rifle to a more supportive DPS, as forcing to reload in prolonged duels would be a disadvantage
- increases the close quarters weakness as being caught on reload is more punishing up close where you cant hide/run
- makes burst rifle the best weapon for dueling, but a but less strong in large bumrush pushes
- accents the distinction between burstrifles and LMGs, with M4/Timik in the middle ground
- imo ammo capcity should go down to 21 - 7 bursts
