1. Constantly firing 2 shot bursts is harder than 5 shotting.
2. It would be very easy to miss a moving target, more-so than it would be with a DMR/NR.
3. If you miss with that thing, you don't have many extra bullets to mend that error. You're pretty much -blam!-.
4. Even if you hit every single bullet, it would take longer to kill with than a DMR/NR. It takes roughly 2 seconds to kill with the AR, while it takes about 1.5 seconds to kill with the DMR/NR. Not much of a difference, but considering the difficulty in 2 shot burst firing and aiming it is enough of a difference to get you killed.
The first 3 points are correct. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm just saying it has the potential.
4 is incorrect though. An AR fired like that kills faster than a needle rifle fired as fast as it can. It's a little different with the DMR. When you pace the DMR, the AR will always win. If you spam, the kill times are similar. The DMR will be much less accurate at that point, so it's best to keep your distance.
This is assuming the ideal situation where both weapons don't miss and are firing as fast as the game allows them. Actually, 4 is entirely correct. The kill times are very close, but the DMR/NR both have a quicker kill time. I'm afraid your facts are mixed up.
It's been a while since I tested it, but there's no reason the results would change.
Unless you're talking about the TU, then you're probably right.
