At this point it is pretty much a waist of time to use an auto rifle... your just slowly tickling your foe to death.. In my opinion, Auto Rifles and Pulse Rifles should do the same damage per shot, the diffrences should be in the accuracy with sustained fire. Pulse= short muzzle climb that is easy to readjust Full auto= a much more dramatic muzzle climb with sustained fire, meaning you have to put more effort into keeping on target. Same damage out put, diffrences in delivery.
