Because the assault rifle is clearly the easiest starting weapon to handle in close combat situations (and arguably the easiest weapon to handle, overall), it lowers shields (in close combat) about the same speed as any other starting weapons, it can hold the highest damage capacity of other starting weapons (sometimes, it's the only weapon players have), it seems to agitate a hit target much more than any other starting weapon, and (if the user has troubles with head-shots) it can lower normal health faster then any other starting weapon.
