Forum:What is the point of the Avenger being a combat rifle?

So yestreday I was given my very first, and only, pearlescent weapon by a friend. If you recall there was a post I left earlier about Cawmerax not dropping pearls and that still holds true to me, but that's beside the point. Anyways, the weapon he gave me was an Avenger. pretty sick huh? no it isn't. I was so excited and when I wen't to use it on Crawmerax, I discovered that it only fired one round bursts, and Crawmerax also discovered it sucked and ripped me a new ass? WHAT THE HELL? It's a combat rifle, it's too inaccurate to be a sniper rifle, so why does it zoom and shoot like one? It makes no sense and I don't know why anyone would want this sh*tty weapon. It isn't any good.

So what are your thoughts on this people? and can sombody give me a good reason to keep this this thing. I mean when I think parlesent i think Ultra rare, top of the line, powerful items. Not run of the mill pieces of junk. You guys know what I'm saying? it's ridiculous....
