It depends on your playstyle. AR is better in mid-long range, and vulcan is for closer range continuous fire. SMC is basically in between.

Learn Vulcan if you want to be super try-hard. Other than that it's personal preference.

I like AR because tighter spread pattern. Plus higher damage per shot.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

I wish I could put a GL as secondary on the assault and use it with the SMC.

If you persuade the weapon glitch into forcing a G2 Assault with Rev-GL, you can do it with Vulcan instead.

Vulcan for it's sex appeal and bullethell, but I use the SMC a lot more since it doesn't have a spin-up that may get screwed by lag.

Of the OP's 3 choices... AR, most definitely.  I find it's really good at focus-firing enemies who are already engaged/about to be engaged with one or more of my teammates. Among other things.

Sometimes I go vulcan, but usually AR. Vulcan is fun, but I'm not as good with it.
I might be one of the few people who actually hates the SMC tho??? I just don't like it, I dunno.

What I wouldn't give for an OP AR C-class *le sigh*

Anyways... That's all besides the point.

Mini-flak and Re-flak (And AM-SAR-ish?) FTW.

ar is probably the best general use weapon, vulcan is a map-specific high reward weapon, and i only use smc when i feel like i have to fight an entire team by myself. i consider the smc the worst of the 3 sustain options, but it does have the smallest heat gen so it can help you hose that third consecutive person a little better when you're in one of those games.

 Vulcan is for people that like to dive in real close and TRY HARD NOT TO DIE before they get a kill....
