@GosBikerNo offence intended but I think the problem is elsewhere if one loses to bolt action rifles in close range. The sniper was either lucky as heck or just much better than the other player.
Assault rifles are jacks of all trades and masters of none and the darlings of the dev teams, sooner or later anything that beats them will get nerfed.
@Lykosia I am trying to say that this wont last. The smgs will definitely get the nerf sledgehammer
I've been playing the assault rifles non-stop and I can tell you, it only kills fast if you attach rapid fire on it.
Snipers are OP, they do not flinch when getting shot at. And as mentioned by the rest, if you did play with the assault rifle enough, you'd realise that you'd do much better with the SMG for rushing and LMG for camping/defending.
edit: rapid fire takes away the range, making this a 2nd class SMG. So, you'd rather use a SMG.
