Okay let's address some of those arguements in order:

first of all, what the fuck kind of calculations came up with a 900 dps difference between the BP and T? The tiberon has a base Dps of 6.7*60, or 402, whereas the BP has a base DPS of 10*39, or 390. All damage mods stacked on top shoud create the same ratio. The only way you could have possibly come up with a difference that large is if you put a damage mod on one that you didn't put on the other which is counter-productive for comparison.

Second of all, a .3 long reload speed is an important difference where Sustained DPS is concerned, especially given that the BP has a 50% larger magazine size. Your calculations only take into account Burst DPS (where reloading is not considered an issue). Take into account the following: as YOU said, the Tiberon has 1800 damage per clip, while the BP has 1755 damage per clip. But the BP can be reloaed at 15% of the speed of the Tiberon, which, gives it 15% more sustained DPS. (2018.25) This difference is INCREASED if you take into account the Burston Prime's larger magazine size (which means it will have to reload less often) and higher fire rate (which allows it to get it's damage out quicker). This is also without taking into account the fact that the BP can be reload canceled at 3/4 of the reload animation, further reducing it's reload speed.

Lastly, you're right about the Tiberon being more ammo efficient, but ammo effiency isn't really a problem with either gun. I can't say I've run out of ammuition ever with my BP on any T4 mission, and this is without squad ammo packs or an ammo mutation mod. So, when neither of them really need to worry about ammo in the first place, then ammo efficiency isn't really a factor.

TL;DR

Thing is, you're right about it having higher burst dps. However, the Burston Prime has a fairly significantly larger sustained DPS, (and status, but whate) which suits them for difference roles. In this case, the Tiberon is better for taking out single enemies, but a higher sustained dps, along with a fire fire rate (which therefore also punishes you less for missed shots) makes the Burston P better for taking out large groups and stronger bosses.

The bottom line is, no body siad either weapon was shit. They each have their own role, and are each better than the other in that role.
