Penta is not "OP" and compared to Ogris. 350 blast vs 500 blast. 5m AoE vs 6m AoE. penta fire rate is capped since since you have to wait until first shot get to target, explode that, THEN fire your 2nd shot, or 2nd shot may explode in your face when you try to detonate first shot. Where as Ogris does not have this limit can its fire rate can increase safely with mod.

Penta's saving grace is planned burst damage (lay 5 grenade before each round in defense type missions), and it's bounce and arc, which are double-edged swords. I think Penta is fine as is.
