“It's a weight issue. For closer-range combat you need to bring your rifle to bear much more quickly and rapidly, and you may not always be shooting from a supported position.

Semi-automatic weapons, incorporating a few more odds and ends to capture recoil/gas to chamber/extract rounds, are going to be heavier than bolt-action weapons which are much more mechanically simple and hence much lighter.

An M14 EBR is going to be over 11 pounds. A "no frills" short-barreled version of the M14 is just shy of 9 pounds. True scout rifles tend to clock in at under 7 pounds... a 2 pound difference over the lightest comparable semi-automatic rifle. Your typical M4 carbine weighs about the same as a scout rifle.

One thing that's often misunderstood about scout rifles is that they're not meant to replace assault rifles or anything else... they're meant to hit hard and accurately at a shorter range than longer/heavier bolt-action rifles. Fire a few shots and disappear. Which all things considered makes them great for Infiltrators.”

“Yeah I believe it's the only BASR with a max of 4x (unless you count the other factions' guns: SAS-R and TSAR.)

The Ghost and its other-faction copies are basically designed for aggressive short/medium ranged sniping work. They're fun and functional within that range, but not much use beyond it.”

“There's a close-range semi-auto in the game, too. I don't remember what the name of the Vanu one is. They're generally not considered very good weapons, though.”
