I've been using this gun for now...

I do not think this weapons is as overpowered as many people have stated. I actually think this weapons is very well balanced, still good, but not ground breaking:

1. It is a bolt weapon. This slow proj.speed combined with the heavy recoil makes it a fairly difficult weapon to use. This results it being more of short-mid range weapon and makes it harder to place headshots.

2. It has great damage, but has extreme low critical chance. Critical dmg is one of the most easily scaled damage. Atm, with nearly none-existant crit chance, this weapon cannot benefit from it.

3. You will take a lot of damage using this weapon due to the stat combination. Afuris for example has ridiculous short range DPS, as a result you will facerape most enemies before you even open fire. With Lex and Kraken, you have the distance. With this, not only the impaled enemies block your view and sometimes your bolts, high recoil, slow reload, and extreme range limitation, you will take a lot of bullets while using this.

4. Stats are great on paper, but not really practical. Against Grineer, like above you will take a lot of damage, wrorse you need to close in fairly well. Against infestation, bolts are great against ancients, but often miss against faster normal infected. Against Corpus, again you need to close in fairly well, it is difficult hitting the ospreys with this, and great against the crewman.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good weapon, but not as amazing as many people suggest.
