What is your favourite assault rifle, and why? (All factions!)

I am currently auraxiuming all the TR assault rifles and just under half way with the TAR. were I not The NS11-a would be my primary because its a solid all rounder.
I am not a Vanu but I have to wonder why they have no love for the Corvus although it has a low rate of fire it is a buttery smooth head shot machine, I say this with only a couple of hours service with the rifle so I'm probably wrong.

NS11-A and Equinox Burst

TORQ, fits in my playstyle

Every TR AR.

For me, my favourite weapon in the whole of Planetside will always be the TR's TORQ-9 assault rifle. The gun is good in every situation I can possibly find myself in. Its easy to manage with its tiny amount of recoil, accurate and the extreme rate of fire gives you a big advantage in CQC. The gun also has very fast reload times which makes it great for hit & runs or for popping in and out of cover.

Also have you heard that gun?... that sound... that beautiful sound!

I run this with the 1x/2x reflex depending on situation. Laser sight and SPA.

Second favourite would have to be the TR's SABR-13. I've also been enjoying the T1S-Cycler with the under-barrel shotgun attachment for close - medium ranged fights.

TR = T1 Cycler. Performs well at all ranges. Has controllable recoil.
NC = Carnage. For exactly the same reasons.
and I actually don't like any of the VS ARs. But if I had to chose one...
VS = H-V45 because it sounds like it's shooting electrified ping-pong balls.

NC medic's starting gun Gauss Rifle and NS-11A are definitely my favorite ARs in game

TORQ-9 without question.

Why: Aim. Point at target. PBBBBBBBBT! PBBBT PBBT PBBT! PBBBBBBT PBBT PBBBT! Smile. That's all there is to it.

I only play with the Terran Republic so I wouldn't know much about the New Conglomerate or Vanu Sovereignty.

I would have to go with the T1S Cycler. Functions very similarly to the T1 Cycler (with a slower fire rate), but you get extra attachments.

hv45 is amazeballs

All the starters, because accuracy trumps over all. NC1 had a very generous damage model suited for the faction, T1 Cycler was good fire rate and accuracy in a package of one, and Pulsar never disappointed me in the ranged situations I would encounter as a support class.

TAR is my new finding, and it works quite well for me. I'm lazy to google up the differences, but feels more punchy than the Cycler.

Higher RoF, tighter hipfire, soft point ammo, also it and most of the other TR ARs have a more "aggressive" sound to them than the stock Cycler, I think. Not that it's a bad weapon in the slightest.

Indeed, I do really like both the T1 Cycler and NC1 Gauss, though I have to say I didn't like the feel of the Pulsar too much. Its horizontal deviations seem to be worse than the Cycler's!

The Darkstar .. soon.

What if ya don't like it? :O

well I dont know....maybe go for HA BG...but nah..I don't even like playing HA. Medic4ever.

TORQ-9 because it's awesome and amazingly versatile, or the TRV because it can kill a heavy that has their winbutton shield on if they miss even a few shots at close range.

I kind of wish I chose my main class as medic... see if you can guess why...

I love my NC1 Gauss Rifle and Reaper DMR so far. Wanting to give the Carnage AR a spin, but DBG is still withholding quite a few weapons from us console peasents.

I can't choose a favorite on the other two factions yet. Only have the starters for now.

Heheh. It'd be the most apt title evar.

Carnage is pretty nice, it doesn't get any specialist ammo types but gets both advanced laser and forward grip, fire rate is a sweet spot for close-mid range, and it has .75x ADS. Hopefully it'll come to console soon!
