So, anyone want to tell me how to use a Fusion Rifle correctly?

To get an effective kill with one you have to find the right range and hit with almost every shot it fires. Most Fusion Rifles pull up as they fire, so that means you either want to start at the chest and let it travel to their head, or pull down ever so slightly with the stick as you fire. Even though it doesn't turn yellow it appears headshots with the Fusion Rifle does do a little more damage, so if you get good with the aim try and keep it on their head the whole time. The biggest challenge you have is people will weave to try and avoid the full blast, which if they noticed you charging early enough will usually save their lives, so predicting enemy movement as the Fusion Rifle fires is also very important.
