Firstly, Akbolto/Boltor doesn't deal "bonus damage". They ignore armor. You can check my comment in Boltor section regarding this particular mechanic.

Secondly, Bolto/Akbolto are actually very accurate, if you can compensate for slow moving bolts. Also, they practically always deal full damage to enemy unlike any other pistol. Which in reality means, that in most cases Aklato will be weaker. Also, do consider that even if Akbolto have horrendously useless Polarity slot (only Freeze mod seems worthwhile), it is still Polarity slot. Which Aklato lacks all together.

Thirdly, since Akbolto/Boltor ignores armor on their own, you can skip placing armor piercing mod altogether. And this is a good thing since pistol variant is quite weak, only giving +5% damage on first rank, which, again, will require you some leveling so it won't be a complete waste of points.

All in all, Akbolto is a straight upgrade from Aklato with only one minus of having slow moving projectiles. As a well rounded and universal sidearm it is vastly superior in many aspects.
