Tribes: Ascend/Auto Comparison

Below is a comparison of all of the automatic weapon variants in Tribes: Ascend. The chain gun and LMG are not technically autos, but they fit better in this category than any other. We are currently unable to pull the reload times and fire rates from the game files, so they are not listed. Some of the weapon variants have a comparison for a fire rate, based on information provided from Hi-Rez.
