You've not read what I've said then. With single shot weapons, lining up punch-through makes the time between shots increase massively, severely reducing the sum total damage per second (ΣD) - a problem that doesn't exist if you simply throw a hail of bullets towards the target *as* you're lining up the punch-through. Furthermore, ΣD increases by an even larger amount - and you often can't even make use of the punch-through - if you're aiming for headshots.

Hence Metal Auger and Shred are garbage mods for the Lanka, but Shred is arguably a core mod for the Braton Prime and Soma Prime (the other core mods for assault rifles being Serration, Heavy Calibur and Split Chamber).
