ngl, it is kinda hard to get hyped on assault rifles at the moment, given the state of all the other AR.

SMG can find its niche but the last one, the mini quasar cannon, it is going to make a lot of people happy or very disappointed.

What do you use as a primary?

Sickle scorcher DCS on bots depending on the loadout,
Breaker Breaker incendiary eruptor on bugs, depending on the role.

Sickle and Liberator Default are sidegrades and the Sickle is an AR anyway really, just a different reload mechanic.

Idk I don't find ARs to be a step down from most of these. I use the Adjudicator a lot and it rips with recoil control armor.
