this is one of those weapons i thought i would like, but just didn't. i leveled it 30 doing solo survival missions so i used it quite a bit. it suffers two main problems.

1) the projectiles are too slow. if the enemy is moving at all you can try to lead the shots, but enemy movement is so erratic you will just miss most the time. this drastically reduces any amount damage this weapon could do. the resultant playstyle ends up being a spray'n'pray or try to point blank them like a shotgun.

2) the projectiles just dont register on hit quite often. this is most notable at point blank range. if an enemy is too close the hits simply dont register half the time. also, even at range, you will see the projectiles hit and no damage suffered. this is not as frequent as the close range problem, but its often enough to frustrate a person.

you put these two problems together and you just have a weapon that severly underperforms when compared to the other options.

that said, this weapon almost always does more than the listed damage and it procs status on nearly every shot.

if it was reliable and the projectiles were faster it could be an outstanding weapon, but it just isnt.
