^ Yeah no. Believe me, we know how crit works, and that elemental damage crits too.

Max DPS calcs:

Latron Prime Burst DPS:  ~34K. Latron Prime Sustained DPS: ~15.7K.

Soma's Burst DPS:  ~22k. Soma Sustained DPS:  16.8K. (with reload cancels, fully spooled)

Synapse Burst DPS: ~21K. Synapse Sustained DPS:  16.6K.

Boltor Prime Burst DPS:  34.5K. Boltor Prime Sustained DPS:  21K.

Burston Prime Burst DPS:  ~64K. Burston Prime Sustained DPS:  ~22K.

Burston Prime with an optimal DPS build fires insanely fast for a semi auto(ish) though, and would almost certainly fall victim to the stupid fire rate/fps tethering inherent in WF's programming for some reason, meaning unless you use about the most uber macro spam clicker ever, you won't be getting optimal DPS for the Burston Prime.

Either way, Boltor Prime rapes Soma not only in ammo efficiency (2100 per bullet compared to Soma's average of ~1050 for a total of 100% more ammo efficiency) but in burst DPS (~50% more) and sustained DPS (fully 25% greater). The downside would be that Soma is hitscan, and Boltor Prime is not.

Soma really isn't all that, People like to tout its high accuracy and DPS, but they forget that max DPS DESTROYS its accuracy. They also conveniently forget that max sustained DPS requires it to stay fully spooled constantly, which is literally impossible, even with perfect reload cancels.

By Contrast, Synapse not only loses no accuracy (as we think of it) to its max sustained DPS build, but it actually becomes EASIER to hit, and to hit weak spots when you add Heavy Caliber to it, due to it firing a long thin cylinder, somewhat like embolist or ignis but without innate punch through.

Latron Prime has slightly less DPS, but more burst. It is incredibly accurate, but also loses this to its max DPS build. Latron Prime is extremely ammo efficient to the point that, if you run out, you almost had to have tried to.

Burston Prime suffers from Akboltos syndrome. It's an effectively semi-automatic with such a stupidly high fire rate on its max DPS build that you almost certainly can't do it with your finger, you'd need a macro. It also suffers a bit from being only slightly more ammo efficient than the Soma (1390 per bullet) but it has an extremely high status chance, meaning its DPS climbs even further with elements that provide AoEs (Gas/Electric), double damage on proc (Corrosive/Viral/Slash/etc.) or damaging DoTs on proc (Toxic/Heat/Slash/Gas) Load this Baby up with a Gas/Electric build and you will be dealing insane AoE and stuns.
