Nope, you are grossly underestimating the value of Crit...

Mathematically speaking, the Gaze deals about 33% more DPS and 25% more burst DPS, with 17m more range, plus a Kitgun Arcane over the Cycron. This is calculated with both weapons fully modded, and with the Gaze built with the Gibber grip (41m) and Bashrack loader. The only tradeoff is the Gaze has 46.2% Status chance versus the Cycron with 48% Status, that 1.8% being insignificant.

You can't fault the math here; the Gaze is better in everyway besides not having unlimited ammo, unless you wanted more Status, which would hurt your damage even more. You do not need more than 40% Status when you are firing at 19.2 rounds per second with perfect accuracy, even against heavy armor.

Because Primed Pistol Gambit and Primed Target Cracker exists, any secondary that doesn't have high Crit + Multiplier at base is missing out on a massive amount of damage. Also, the Cycron's range is pitiful and not very usuable at 24m.
