I have now realized that the Light Rifle may possibly be a Burst-Fire Rifle, not a Single-Fire Rifle! I started thinking about this when playing Lightning Fire on the Haven map on the Team Action Stack Mode.I may be on my third beer as of this post, but the slower firing rate of the Light Rifle makes it seem as though it is a 3 round burst. Am I crazy, drunk, or right?
Unzoomed - three round burst
Zoombed - one round burst (uses three from clip)

are u stupid?
The Light Rifle has multiple fire modes:
When you are unscoped, it fires a 3-round burst with tight spread, not unlike the Battle Rifle.
When scoped in, the weapon fires a single hitscan bullet directly in the center of the reticle.
When zoomed in it’s a single shot round with slightly more power than the 3 round burst

Exactly. Why are we even talking about that in the first place?
You’re right, but that doesn’t mean you’re not drunk.

It’s a projectile.
Are you drunk because you’re crazy?
Or crazy because you’re drunk?

You are correct on the LightRifle being a burst weapon while unzoomed OP, congratulations!

Nope, the LR is hitscan. The orange shots are drawn in after. All of the precision weapons in this game are hitscan.

What a pity it handles like -Yoink- compared to the BR and DMR.

I agree with that.
Like Moa said, the Light Rifle fires a Three-Round Burst.
Unscoped it is a 3 round burst, but I understand that it may be hard to tell since it has half the burst duration of classic BRs. It lasts only 0.07s, its as close a it can possibly be to preforming like a single shot weapon whilst still being a burst fire weapon. Classic BRs took 0.13s. It doesn’t even sound like a burst fire weapon.
Technically it’s not burst fire since that’s an option to fire a pre-determined amount of bullets from a single trigger pull. Zoomed in fires the same amount of bullets, but more concentrated and does slightly more damage (what sense does that make?). There’s no real option to select single fire or full auto and “burst fire” is just the default firing rate.
Regardless, I think they really messed up the Light Rifle in the game (out of fear from the “true fans”). The spread should be fairly large or have bloom, and zoomed in should only fire one bullet, not the same amount but slightly stronger. That way it becomes the “close range” precision weapon, the spread/bloom makes it only average at medium range and long range it won’t have the accuracy or strength to deal max damage.
