I'll agree with that. I just prefered to not use the AR since more often than not things went in the manner of "Fire half a magazine of limited ammo into someone, when I could have easily shot him twice in the head with the pistol that regenerates it's ammo and that would have been the end of it."

Now, if the thing had a lower rate of fire, I would have used it more often. Lower fire rates aren't always a bad thing. Plus, the Prosecutor mission teaches you how to be very conservative, especially since you're stalking a ship with no support and a lot of bad guys between you and resupply.
