The AR is actually not that bad, if you have a plasma rifle, just fire at an enemy up close till it overheats and then switch to the AR and spray dozens of bullets in his face. Some call it crap but I find it more useful than some other weapons in certain situations. However, it is quite obselete when compared with the Shotgun.
Thats like comparing apples and oranges. The shotgun fires pellets that spread and cause massive damage over a large are, it is only semi-automatic, and it doesnt have a magazine.
Nope, both weapons are close range (the shotgun being slightly closer) so I was comparing their fire power
The AR has longer range than the shotgun, if you use controlled burst. On top of the blue base at Blood gulch, me and my brother where on oppisite sides, he had a shotgun, and I had a AR. I effectivly outranged with only loosing a quarter of my sheild.
