Auto rifles [b][i][u]are[/u][/i][/b] trash, but even I think they should have some or all of their damage restored. Range fall-off is right about where it needs to be, though, if not a little shorter. Edit: disclaimer: yeah, I hate auto rifles. But I still think players should be able to choose a weapon type that fits their style of play, within reason (like knowing which club is correct for a specific situation when playing golf, or using the correct type of shotgun round for deer vs for birds...).
