The issue with guns like the Soma is that it does non-armor ignoring damage and has a really low base damage. Serration only matters insofar as it is increasing the AP (for Grineer and Corpus) and Fire (for infested) damage values. The bullet damage it does natively sucks the big one. So, if I were modding something like Soma or even Gorgon, Grataka, Supra, Dera and the like, I wouldn't even start serration until I at least had an AP mod maxed on it. You can't just look at the raw damage numbers because with a non-armor-ignoring damage type, most of it is mitigated. The AP mod is where those guns really open up. Check the Damage Calculator and plug in some values to verify it.
