Don't call me a noob if I use armor lock. Call me a PRO.
Moral of the story: If I was able to kill you,then I'm not a noob.
The assault rifle is not overpowered because,even though it can quite quickly take down your shields,it has very bad range,and usually,people will have a better weapon,say,the magnum or shotgun.It's better as a finisher after you've gotten their shields down with a melee.
