What should happen
TAP FIRE REMOVED
i cant stress this enough but this is whats breaking this gun and making it super OP. It gives you a tap fire photon rifle ROF (fast) and makes bullets incredibly hard to dodge along with this you also get a super unfair advantage of one less bullet to kill (yes one bullet makes a HUGE difference).

Clip reduction
the clip of these guns is also what makes them so superior to other guns and dominating games. with the 36 clip on the gun, your dishing out WAY too much damage, in fact its dealing out 270 damage and thats the equivelent to 5 people you can kill in one clip. Unlike most other guns that are fairly competitive that dish out a total of 126 damage (about 2 people). The APRs clip size should be reduced to 12 that way you still get the fast ROF + the high damage but at the price of a very small clip. So if you want to use the most powerful weapons in the game that have the high damage + the high ROF and the lowest time to kill at the expense that you have to learn to make sure that every count counts. This would also seriously cut down on the spam.
The next issue with the clips is they are ruining the point of weapons that have tasks. A great example would be the chaingun. That gun is supposed to be a spam cannon that shoots off a incredible amount of shots. But no thats now the case, the APRs deal more damage, have a slightly lower ROF, and can fire for a much longer time. So a clip reduction at the least to 12 is mandatory.

what stays the same
The damage should stay the same. You paid a lot of money for it so you should be able to have some perks.
The automatic ROF needs to also stay the same. You should definatally have a lower T2K than other guns since this is a pricey gun. However that does not mean you should have no learning curb with this gun to avoid.
