@ troll: congratulations in restoring my faith in humanity. NOT.

dps is only one of the things which determines how useful a weapon is. a weapon which does 150 base dmg with a high RoF at max 10m is useless against enemies 50m away. even a rifle which only does 25 dmg and has a 'meh' RoF will outdamage it if you can't close the gap to the enemy (or don't want to, due to the other enemies around him)

let's put it like this: Flux Rifle, max range: 25m. beyond that it just does nothing. at close range, however, it cuts enemies into little pieces and bbq's them

Snipetron Vandal, max range: not sure, but it's mostly limited by how big the map tile you're in is, but at close range it's outclassed due to the small clip and zoom

they are both situational, both have their advantages and their downfalls. I generally use my sniper for normal missions because quite often mobs are also at long ranges. for defence missions I swap from banshee to trinity, since most of the combat there is close range. perfect for the flux rifle.
