Yeah but your whole point was that carbines don't shoot fire... well this special doesn't cause fire so...
Not according to the description of it.

just said that the rifleman acid rifle is better then our heavy acid rifle. i mean the rifleman rifle has ap 2. i think that putting the ft and the har into the same tree and giving the har ap 2 and a acid dot will fix it. just said that a rifleman has a more prowerfull acid rifle then a commando HEAVY acid rifle

Look at it this way, we were gods about a month, 2 months ago... Then came the time of the rifleman. Remember when the riflemen were the redheaded stepchild of the devs? the devs even stated they hated riflemen. Guess what, we're what riflemen used to be. Though, a fix is in sight, at least I hope

The Heavy Acid Rifle, its our red-headed stepchild next to the flamethrower. It shares the same specials but lacks the flame's DOT. I say thats not such a bad thing but the HAR needs something special. But what? What could seperate it from the flamethrower in such a way that its functional and at the sametime unique even tho it has the same specials?
Before i answer the above, we need to address another problem... lack of armor piercing weapons indoors. Heavy Rocket Launcher, HPBC.... only able to fire those bad boys outside.
So lets kill two birds with one stone and give the Heavy Acid Rifle Medium Armor Piercing. This isnt such a stretch of the imagination either. A Republic Blaster does Acid dmg and has Light AP, makes sense that a Heavy Acid Rifle could do AT THE VERY LEAST, Medium AP. With Medium AP on the HAR, we would have a weapon with medium armor piercing that can fire some very decent specials and not be totally overpowered. Plenty of targets have acid resists but many do not.
We could finally have a weapon that we can use indoors in some of the tougher dungeons where the flamethrower is nearly useless against the Enhanced Kwi's that are running around.
A Republic Blaster does Acid dmg and has Light AP?? no a republic blaster does energy dmg actually and has terrible accuracy modifiers lol
