this weapon is so over-hyped. i built it just to test the thing out, because people keep saying its the best sentinel weapon... i wasted 100k credits right there.

the problems:

1) it starts the spool up on every single enemy. it does not stay spooled up like a player gun, it resets on every target switch. so that nice rate of fire is only when it takes a long time for the enemies to die.

2) it has a huge spread once its spooled up. its like a cestra. its just shooting a lot of bullets in that general direction and missing with about 1/2 of them. this reduces its real effectiveness down to shotgun range like a sweeper.

3) it has a bad tendency to lock on some random target across the room it cant even hit and will never change target even if you have some melee guy in your face. it just keeps pouring bullets into a wall or whatever is in the way.

combine all that with a low damage per bullet weapon its just not good.

if i wanted a short range weapon i would take the sweeper over this any day of the week. with status mods the sweeper is a status machine and it can 1-hit most enemies well into the 30's.
