I use it up close and personal though. I would never use it at mid range except as a last resort. Half the time I end up just depressing the trigger and unloading.

Also, the original assault rifle worked very well in bursts, too, on PC (Xbox version was a goddamn laser beam). What are you on about?

@Annihilation: wait, are you talking about the AR or the Plasma Repeater now? The Plasma Repeater was just as effective as the plasma rifle as I recall it, and actually had a slight edge since it was never out of commission 100% while it cooled.
