Give scout rifles the same oomph as hand cannons, and turn pulse rifles into Halo 2 BR's.

Let me clarify, now that I'm at a computer and don't need to use a phone pad. TTK is exremely low for HC's and, really, for AR's. So make SR's long range HC's; 2-3 shot headshot kills, 4-5 shot body shot kills, with a range drop off keeping them out of sniper territory. Give pulse rifles 2 burst head shot kills and 4 burt body shot kills, with a higher RoF offset by more bursts required to kill.

HC's are still better at close range than SR's because SR hip fire isn't as good; Pulse Rifles become an alernative to AR's for skill players; special ammo becomes less important. Everybody wins.
