To the anon of March 24th, the Veldt is really not better than the Prisma Grinlock, its advantage over it is a higher fire rate and a bigger magazine at almost no reload penalty, but it has worse crit damage, no access to a syndicate mod which makes it much more crit viable, has lower status chance and lower overall damage.

On low levels were both weapons one-shot you could arguably say the Grinlock still wins thanks to the syndicate mod, as you still need a half second to swap between targets making the higher fire rate negligible and the syndicate effect AoE obliterates the enemies you have around, confusing the ones that manage to stay alive so they shoot each other.

You can say you enjoy it more because it looks better to you and you enjoy the zoom feature, perhaps you go often in the free roam areas for some chilled lower level bounties so you can get some occasional sniping action going on, but the Veldt isn't better than the Prisma Grinlock.
