*The AR's accuracy degrades after EXACTLY 1.5 seconds of sustained fire. In order to use this weapon to it's fullest, you must learn the most efficient bursts to use at different ranges. Failure to do so results in missed shots, wasted ammo, and lives lost.

*The AR's melee attack is extremely quick, the fastest other than the Plasma Pistol. When up against anything other than a [[shotgun]] or a [[plasma rifle]], use it.

*When used with effective grenades, the AR can hold its own. Backpedal and use any 'nade you have handy, and let the gun take care of your enemy after his shields are down.

*When up against a Sniper (or in some cases, a pistol-wielder) use 'nades and strafe in a circle. Only open up when you're within range. There's nothing worse then an empty mag when you're finally able to take the kill.

*Even at long ranges, you can still use the AR to protect youself from snipers. Remember: it only takes one shot to knock them out of their scope! Use this when you accidentaly expose yourself, or when you just need to get to a better position.
