I'm a horribly unconventional individual. As such, I get a lot of grief for the way I build things. Here's my WIP Build, which requires 4 Forma.

Barrel Diffusion (In natural polarity slot), Rank 5 (120%% Multishot)

Hornet Strike (In a polarized V slot), Rank 10 (+220% Base Damage)

Pistol Gambit (In a polarized V slot), Rank 5 (+120% Critical Hit Chance)

Seeker (In polarized - slot), Rank 5 (+.6 Puncture)

Deep Freeze (in a Polarized D slot), Rank 5 (+60% Freeze damage) OR Ice Storm (in polarized V slot), Rank 3 (+40% Magazine Size and +40% Freeze Damage)

Heated Charge, Rank 5 (+90% Fire Damage)

Convulsion, Rank 5 (+90% Electrical Damage)

No Return, Rank 5 (+30% Armor Piercing Damage)

End Effect:

DMG: 160, 33% Crit Chance, 150% Crit Damage

Fires 2 shots every shot, chance to fire a third. Bullets have .6m Puncture, so they will pass through anything to inflict maximum murder and keep on going.

Deep Freeze Route deals 96 freeze damage for each bullet, up to a maximum of 288 for 3 bullets. Ice Storm Route adds 2 extra bullets to the magazine and deals 64 freeze damage for each bullet, up to a maximum of 192 for 3 bullets.

Heated charge deals 144 fire damage for each bullet, up to a maximum of 432 for 3 bullets.

Convulsion deals 144 electrical damage for each bullet, up to a maximum of 432 for 3 bullets.

No return deals 48 armor piercing damage for each bullet, up to a maximum of 144 for 3 bullets.

Damage Per Shot (Deep Freeze Route):

Damage per shot (noncrit, 2 Bullet Multishot): 1184

Damage per shot (noncrit, 3 Bullet Multishot): 1776

Damage per shot (full crit, 2 Bullet Multishot): 1776

Damage per shot (full crit, 4 Bullet Multishot): 2664

Damage Per Shot (Ice Storm Route)

Damage per shot (noncrit, 2 Bullet Multishot): 1120

Damage per shot (noncrit, 3 Bullet Multishot): 1680

Damage per shot (full crit, 3 Bullet Multishot): 1680

Damage per shot (full crit, 3 Bullet Multishot): 2520

Some of you are probably wondering why I would opt to use Seeker, that crazy overpriced mod. Long Answer: Because it's funny to picture 1 bullet murdering several enemies, like a high calibur weapon should do. Short answer: Because I feel like it. These numbers are based on my own calculations. Running both builds through the damage calculator app for Android, the numbers look like this:

Damage per shot (Deep Freeze) against Ancients (Lower Leg): 9634.24

Damage per shot (Ice Storm) against Ancients (Lower Leg): 9215.36
