That's a good one, isn't it? The stat switch to the ASRs I consider a very lazy effort to improve the Sci-Fi ASR but then leave the good old default in shambles. So the stats are switched back again. From there, the differences between the HASRs are applied to the ASRs as well. The Sci-Fi HASR has 0.5 more damage, 0.005 second slower rate of fire, 10 less ammo, 0.5 second longer reload, and 5% more speed than its counterpart. The two are pretty balanced between each other, so, this does exactly the same with the ASRs. You can go for the rounded A Salt Rifle, which is easy to add Equipment onto. If you choose the Sci-Fi counterpart, you receive minimal ammo, so if you're thinking of adding extra Speed and Damage, you may come out short of satisfactory. So you must sacrifice one for Ammo, and although you don't have as fast a reload or as much ammo as the A Salt Rifle (if you were to use Ammo +2), you do have higher damage and a tad extra speed.

If they were done up like this, both would be equally considerable choices, and that's what we're aiming for.
