[quote] Could I be missing something due to lower usage rates? Sure, and I don’t have enough of the good ones myself to give ‘enough a comparative test drive like I have pulses.[/quote] Most the weapon types are fairly well balanced right now...

Such as recoil on pulses, precision damage on scouts and a reduction in flinch-power on 110 handcannons.
