I'm loling at this thread.
The point isn't that the AR takes no skill to use. Compared to every other weapon in the sandbox, (barring the needler) it's needed skill is minuscule.
Consequently, the AR's effectiveness in every other situation is as minuscule as it's skill ceiling, and thus the more "MLG pr0" players laugh at the AR as a weapon.
Have you read anything I wrote? Please refer to my earlier posts. These aren't opinions, but facts. I tested all of them.
Also, I'm obviously talking about vanilla reach. All I needed to see was an AR lose to a DMR at melee range full auto to say that you're wrong.
The AR is better at mid range than it is at close range.
It's very simple. At close range you can fire the DMR very fast. You're trading in firing rate for accuracy. The AR, when burst fired, fires at a constant pace no matter where your opponent is. The accuracy also stays the same.
This means that at mid range, the AR can continue to fire as fast as it's always doing, while the DMR has to slow down. If the DMR doesn't slow down, it will almost guaranteed miss at least one shot. Given that the AR user doesn't miss and fires as fast and as accurate as it can, the AR will beat the DMR.
