Unfortunately, scout rifles have never been a predominantly good pvp option in FPS games, because generally, people move too fast. As for pulse rifles, they can be just as effective at close range as at long range in the hands of a skilled player. Auto rifles were nerfed to the ground, and are no longer viable in pvp for the most part. As for hand cannons, yes, they have unrealistic range. However, pulse rifles are more effective at long range, thus, giving them the unique spot as a mid-long ranged weapon. So, hand cannons may have a lot of range, but they can be outgunned if the enemy is skilled. I appreciate you giving your thought into this conversation, but I don't see either of our opinions changing. So, bye, and thank you for the first intelligent debate I've had here in a while.
