I haven't seen very much talk about pulse rifles on youtube, or forums, other than them just being disregarding as joke weapons.
While I may not be a die hard pulse rifle user I decided to see for myself what about this sub class of primary weapons was rubbing people the wrong way.
I hope maybe what I discovered testing many different pulse rifles in pvp may actually be helpful in forming an idea on what should be done to make pulse rifles fun and rewarding to use.

They don't do enough damage to be viable, plain and simple.
