Directly comparing stats, no the Vectis and the Tigris are obviously not comparible.

But as far as their usefulness and utility goes, they are for about the same thing: Plugging heavies. The little hordes are better handled with melee and sidearms, because both the Vectis and Tigris are too slow for crowd control. (Although I'd take vectis to try.)

Now with that in mind, the Vectis will stand above Tigris because Slash damage doesn't count for much against anything but light infested. The second you come up against an ancient, or any other heavy, you are much better off with a Vectis. Better mobility, greater damage, faster shots, no damage drop-off.

I'm not saying that the Vectis is a better SHOTGUN than the Tigris, I'm saying its better at the Tigris's job.
