Okay, so we know there are 4 types of Rifles in Destiny. These Rifles are considered to be your Primary weapon in your 3 Tier weapon system in Destiny. Just thought I'd break down some information on each gathered from around the web. Please correct me if anything is wrong.
[b][u]Fusion Rifles[/u][/b]
- Usually burst fire weapons with different configurations (Similar to a BR I'd imagine).
- Reverse engineered by humans from "Alien Tech" with advanced energy disbursement technology.
- Assault style sights.
- Examples would be: Conduit F3.
[b][u]Auto Rifles[/u][/b]
- Fully Automatic weapon with ammunition in cartridge form.
- Highly customizable and upgradeable.
- Examples would be: Arcus Regime and Sanctuary No.2.
[b][u]Pulse Rifles[/u][/b]
- Burst fire weapons with particle or laser type ammunition.
- Can be Bullpup in configuration.
- The Viper P3 Superior Pulse Rifle holds 33 rounds with 11 burst per magazine.
- Bungie considered other names for Pulse Rifles such as "Particle Cannon" and "Laser Monster". Lolsies.
-Examples would be: Red Death (Has a Regen ability), PSI Umbra II and Viper P3.
[b][u]Scout Rifles[/u][/b]
- Semi-Automatic marksman rifles.
- Not much else is know but I think this type of rifle will be similar to the DMR.
- Example would be: Monitor S11
So there's some information, which Primary weapon will you be rolling with, and why? Some guns have also been thought to be faction specific, but I'm sure Bungie said anyone can use any weapon in Destiny. Which makes me believe that faction logos on weapons are a customization option. What do you think?

I'm leaning towards a scout or pulse rifle for long range engagements.
