Something is wrong with this math. I can't possibly imagine how an uncharged regular shot with only level 5 serration would do 1k viral damage. Seriously, we are talking about a 60 damage weapon here. However if you were only talking about arsenal page you should know that the stats there are listed for charged shots only.

Aside from that you're not taking armor into consideration at all as far as I see. Viral is pretty much useless verus armor(it does like 20% more damage to a lvl 10 Corrupted Lancer than a neutral combined element - tested it recently). Slash is also rather weak against it, sure with proper combined element it can be usefull to some extent but never as good as PP.

Also there seems to be a heavy jump in armor reduction after level 30, and it will no longer be possible to one shot stuff, even on a headshot crit with split chamber.
