State the powers. Give them descriptions. Explain what they'd do and how they'd work. A lot of things would be sweet, but you need to put thought into them before suggesting them.

Option1:
Assault Rifle APP1
1) Bayonet Stab
2) Pummel (from the SoA power of the same name)
3) Present Arms (Emote)
4) Order Arms (Emote)
5) Boost Range
Would suck.
Option2:
Assault Rifle APP2
1) Burst (Single Target DoT)
2) Sniper Shot (snipe)
3) Frag Grenade (Targeted AoE, KB)
4) Heavy Burst (Cone DoT)
5) Aim
Would be worth considering.

That doesn't really strike me as a melee epic pool. Most of them are a mix of ranged attacks, control powers and self buffs or useless debuffs. Also AR itself doesn't get Aim so the epic probably shouldn't.|

I'd say:
1) Burst (single target attack)
2) Beanbag (single target stun)
3) Buckshot (AoE cone w/ knockback)
4) Sleep Grenade (AoE sleep)
5) M30 Grenade (TAoE with knockback) or Flamethrower (Extreme DoT Cone)
All powers are drawn from Assault Rifle or Munitions Mastery. It's a mix of controls and ranged attacks but as with the Assault Rifle set itself it's heavy on the AoE attacks.
How about this:
1. Cryo Freeze Ray
2. Sleep Gas Grenade
3. Burst
4. Buckshot
5. Ignite
Would this work?

I didn't think of Cryo Freeze Ray, that fits much better than Beanbag. I'm not sure about Ignite, the fear effect is going to really limit the usefulness for a melee toon. Even if you hold one target to attack with it it's still potentially causing fear in other enemies near you.

I think giving them an optional fear power to choose would be awesome.|

Weren't the 5th selections added when the Devs wanted to remove a few powers they didn't like but were in use causing more options in some sets that they are ironing out for parity purposes?
OOoo, gun for tanks and scrappers? Yes, yes very much!!
We need a 'real" tech thing for tanks and scrapper
