First:  DPSframe is inaccurate.

Second:  No, Soma does not burst, or sustained DPS for more, or even close, and Boltor Prime's DPS advantage is NOT due to status chance.

Soma:

Base damage: 10. + Serration/Heavy Caliber/Split Chamber Average: 81.7. + crit/Point Strike/Vital Sense Average: 424.84. + Base firing rate: 6372.6. + Speed Trigger: 10196.16. + 2x 90% Elemental damage: '''28549.248. (Burst)''' + Adjustment for reload time: 16,598.4. + Reload cancel: 20,992.0941 Optimal Sustained DPS for the Soma (Not counting spool up time).

Boltor Prime:

Base damage: 54. + Serration/Heavy Caliber/Split Chamber Average: 441.18. + Crit: 463.239. + Base firing rate: 4632.39. + Speed Trigger: 7411.824. + 3x 90% Elemental damage: 27,423.7488. + Bane: '''35,650.8734. (Burst)''' + Adjustment for reload time: 21,738.3375 Optimal Sustained DPS for the Boltor Prime.

Boltor prime CLEARLY and BLATANTLY wins in all categories, the ONLY disadvantage is projectile bolts, instead of being hitscan like soma.
