'' twin gremlins, just cuz they are more damage per shot and automatic. yes, the fire rate is lower, but akbolto being semi-automatic can only be shot so fast, even if using autofire macros, and lag makes a bigger impact on semi-auto weapons than auto. just put on a maxed lethal torrent on the gremlins, and use a nice damage build. akboltos look cooler, gremlins look like nailguns lol. but gremlins will still outdamage the akboltos, and will be less of a hassle to use. akboltos are pretty much obselete now due to the gremlins. ''

''if you're shooting for endgame, these weapons will still do fine, but you should move on to acrid/despair and if you were lucky enough to obtain it, the brakk. gremlins will work as endgame, but won't be your best choices by then. same thing with kunai, acrid/despair are your better options''

lol so yah. ignore my last comment (yes that was me not logged in). this was literally posted right before damage 2.0 came out. not so accurate anymore. despairs are still good grineer killers, but the acrid got super nerfed. and the brakk just recently got nerfed, with added damage falloff and more impact damage. brakk is still OP, just feels slightly weaker at higher levels. you will notice you can't one shot anymore lol. despairs are really only good against grineer now, and acrid just kinda sux at higher levels lol.

like the above replier said, twin gremlins are great all-around guns due to being balanced with all 3 damage types, but akboltos are more specialized towards grineer. if you have very little lag and your fire rate is not affected, the akboltos are now arguably better than twin gremlins against grineer. gremlins still have better accuracy, but you aren't supposed to use these things to snipe enemies, they are meant for mid-range, close range.

so for grineer, i would say these are better. although aklex's are also very good if you are aiming for headshots, they would probably be much more efficient to use.
