But the Vandal can get off 2-3 shots before the original can pull off one single powerful shot. And the Vandal ALSO has punch through.

And since Vandal already has a rapid charge time, you don't need to waste a mod slot on fire rate, and can instead stack extra damage to bring it closer. Of course, you could also boost fire rate anyways and really pop off the shots quick.
