AkJagara's are completely different weapons to AkMagnus

Akjagara do slash damage, and more damage overall then the AkMagnus (60 vs 45).

AkJaraga also fires 2 pellets per shot, so with multishot you're firing a maximum of 6 pellets per shot. Couple that with Punch-through and AkJagara become mini infested death dealing shot guns.

AkMagnus may have a high crit, but crit mods on pistols are crappy overall as with standard mods you're peaking at 55% and from 2x to 3.2 damage. I'd rather use those two mod slots and throw in elementals for more damage overall. Unless you get your critical % over 65% it's just not worth banking on .. think about how many lockers you don't open with Master thief at 40%, and that's rounghly how many times you'll be doing less damage with the AkMagnus then by just using elemental (or the new 120% impact) mods.
