So, I made one...

As a general combat gun, it's leagues above the Lex and Seer. The former is less than stellar at closer ranges and the latter is nearly useless at long ranges (the brilliant decision to make the bullets non-hitscan is to thank for that) and the idiotic zoom makes close ranges irritating; Vasto doesn't care, it blasts everything at all ranges, is unhampered by uneeded zoom increases, and fires/reloads fast enough for close range work.

The closest thing it really compares to in goodness level is the Lato Vandal; the LV is still arguably better (less damage, but much less recoil and much larger magazine), but the Vasto is a very, very good alternative for all the people who weren't around for that gun but want a comparable solid all-range sidearm.

It's well worth the 60k and materials. Quit whining about the Neurodes cost and go get one.

Also, did some testing. The bullets do not pierce Corpus headgear, I think whoever thinks that must have missed and hit unarmored shoulders instead. It can, however, stagger them, even without doing damage.
