I have both a Snipetron Vandal and Lanka, and let me try to explain the differences and usefulness of each. The Snipetron is much better at taking down large crowds due to the fast firing rate. It is also much more sniper-ish than the Lanka, because the snipetron is hitscan. The Lanka deals significantly more damage, which scales better with mods than the Vandal. Unfortunatly, the charge time coupled with the flight time, makes this weapon extremely situational, and I recommend an Acrid or Throwing Knives if enemies get too close. In the end, it all comes down to preference: Hitscan and good fire rate vs. higher damage but slow fire rate.
