This weapon is not terrible, but to claim it's the best is laughable. Bows have twice the crit chance and higher damage, and with a fire rate mod to make up for their slowness, their general usefulness outstrips the Latron Prime's by a mile. The LP probably beats the Vulkar, but that weapon is not very powerful either. Should we choose bring the Lanka into this, well, how many repeated, precise headshots does it take for you to kill one high-level enemy? Because what would take you four or five headshots could most likely be done in one by the Lanka. And if we're talking just general long-range weapons, then we may as well bring in the Soma with its sniper-level accuracy, chaingun-level fire rate, and insane damage.

If you're saying it's the best because you've used 3-4 formas on it, then yes, ANY weapon becomes godlike with enough forma. If you enjoy the weapon's feel and style, then that's great. Liking your weapon allows you to use it better. But to claim "It's the best weapon possible and beats every other gun.", then we have to look at hard stats, not personal preferences. Latron Prime WILL lose that contest. If the critical hit rate had not been nerfed, then it might have beaten some of its competitors. As it stands right now, it's got a long way to go to the top.
