Purely in terms of per-shot damage, this is still inferior to the Lanka when both are fully modded, due to its base damage being only 62.5% of the latter. Although the armor piercing component of the Snipetron Vandal is higher on its own, the sheer amount of additional damage that the Lanka outputs across other elements all but guarantees that it'll do more, especially since even Infested Ancients are no longer immune to electrical damage.

Since just about everything will die in one shot regardless of which weapon you pick, however, you may want to just skip the ridiculous material and mastery requirements, tedious charge mechanic, and slow projectile speed, though, and just enjoy the fact that you got this awesome gun instead, practically for free.
