It's not the best rifle out there, for sure. However, one must keep in mind that, essentially, it's not a rifle. It's very obviously a submachinegun.

Anyone doing damage tests using crit mods on this thing aren't giving it a chance to shine. Fire Rate, Split Chamber, and elemental mods with serration generate a LOT of damage and control.

With short bursts, you can have decent accuracy out to solid ranges, and the sheer amount of ammo you can throw downrange is SCARY. In lower level missions, just tapping the trigger will down most enemies, and in higher ones you can empty your entire mag in an Ancient's leg and down it in no time flat. You can also use it effectively to sweep large mobs in defense missions. With the proper elemental mods, you can just hold down the trigger and drag quickly over a large crowd of enemies, doling out a large amount of damage to the group as a whole while nailing them with freeze and shock/flame on the way. Plus, it sounds really awesome.

My suggestion is to try it for something different. It's not a phenomenal weapon, no, but it's a FUN weapon.
