Turn the Rifle into a true "Semi-automatic"

[Lancer]

Suggestion: Increase the semi's firerate and recoil while turning it into a real semi-automatic weapon. The player would have to keep pressing the LMB to fire.

The rifle doesn't currently hold true to it's "semi" title. The player should be able to fire very fast, but then would have to cope with a slightly stronger recoil.

Sounds good. It will be user dependant on rate of fire. Then you basically get a generic machine gun rifle.

I seem to be the only one to disagree with this, but that's ok. :p

I don't find this a good idea, because

A) I'm selfish. This would put me off, big time. I use recoil to balance my second shot, if the first one misses/does not kill. If the bullet fired too fast, I wouldn't be able to do that.

B) With the damage it has, there would have to be uber recoil, or you would be facing a gun with possible firing capability of an automatic weapon, and also with uber damage per shot.

^That's just me though. I've never been a fan of semi-automatic weapons. You empty your mag, then find yourself in a whole load of shit. I always prefer single action.
