Agree that the Afuris is an amazing weapon at close ranges. Dps is great and while it is true that dps is lowered against armor, this can easily be compensated by focus fire on the upper chest upwards to the head, which should not be a problem at close range given that the grineer are characteristically large, both by their body sizes and respective hitboxes. Ammunition does eat away quickly however, this which I compensate with wise usage, mods, and sometimes the pistol scavenger artifact. Meanwhile with the Aklato, I like to carry weapons that bear different properties to be better prepared. The Aklato is capable of firing moderate damage bullets at a decent speed st close to mid/mid-long range. This I can alreadydo with a burstin, a latron, or a braton. Because no matter what you have to say, none of the three guns can pump out so much close range dps for those panic scenarios. Even when I use my gorgon, I find myself using the Afuris over my Lex because of a higher rank and better mods. Compensation? Having to fight a bit more up close and personal. Not too hard with a Rhino frame or sn upgraded Loki frame. -Level 30 Afuris user
