You should mention that those numbers you are talking about are with Burdened Magazine AND Ammo Stock. That being the case, here is the real test: DPS check.

Strun Wraith with your loadout with those two mods vs the same loadout but with Tactical Pump instead of Ammo Stock, and any other dmg mod up to 11 points (which, iirc, most cap out at 9) instead of Burdended Magazine. While you will have the standard 8 rounds per magazine, your reload speed will drop from 1.77s to 1.05s, if my math is correct.

My bet is on Tactical Pump and any other dmg mod. Unless they buff the mag increase on this mod, I still feel it is pretty much useless.

NM mods like Shred and Focus Energy completely changed the game, adding more of what their original counterpart provided at a lower cost, and a bonus stat to boot. This, on the other hand, defies all common sense, as you are increasing your mod point cost with absolutely no gain otherwise, and adding a detriment on top of it. The only time this mod would be viable is if you could replace Ammo Stock with it so you could keep your other dmg mods on. Barring that, this mod is too much of a hindrance to be used. It's a shame, really, seeing all the work you have to go through to get it.
