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

The fusion rifle is pretty much like a shotgun crossed with a railgun. I found that in most encounters if you are accurate with the fusion rifle and have a good sense of the effective range you could kill an enemy in 1 shot. Occasionally I would kill an enemy with two shots. Very rarely did I survive long enough to try a 3rd shot. I found the fusion rifle very effective for getting a kill on an enemy by waiting for them to come to you around a corner. When they get close, you just start charging the weapon until they round the corner.

When fighting an enemy with a shotgun I found that I usually won because I could keep just outside their effective range long enough to get my 1 shot off and kill them. If I missed, then they were usually able to close and kill me with their second shot before I could recharge.
