Oh, it gets even better. Not only is the Sybaris more ammo efficient (bullet-for-bullet damage, not counting the burst firing issues) than the Latron Prime, making it, to date, probably the most efficient user of rifle ammunition in the game, but it considerably out-bursts not only the Latron Prime, but also the Soma, and the Boltor Prime as well.  Consequently... well, it doesn't get quite as high of a sustained DPS as the Soma or Latron Prime, due to having to reload often.

To top it off, not only is the Boltor Prime a "n00b cannon" due to not being a crit-focused accurate weapon (which get an extra 4x damage multiplier on crit headshots, meaning they utterly annihilate the Bolter Prime in every way if you're accurate with them), but even the Soma falls off HARD past about level 80, due to poor ammo economy (averaging about 9k per average headshot bullet [not counting damage type multipliers] on headshots compared to Latron Prime's 33k per average headshot bullet, and Sybaris' 36.5k per average headshot bullet) but still outperforms Boltor Prime's measly 5k per average headshot bullet even with a HC build!

For the purposes of the below comparisons, "burst" damage is damage done per second, not factoring in the reload times when a clip is empty that would be the next step to calculating sustained DPS.

Sybaris headshot burst damage: 241KDPS avg.

Latron Prime headshot burst damage: 140KDPS avg.

Soma headshot burst damage:  66KDPS avg. from a cold start or 141KDPS avg. when fully spooled.

Boltor Prime HC build headshot burst damage:  53KDPS avg.

Where'r your n00b cannons now, obvious troll?
