The braton is a better all-purpose gun (it does well at any range, on any enemy, at any distance) but other weapons are better than it at specific situations.

In this case, the latron is a superior weapon for long-distance fights. It has better zoom and its higher base damage lets it put down enemies much quicker than the braton when aimed at weak points. However, because it is semi-automatic it doesn't lend itself to close-range fighting as well as the braton does, and has a harder time engaging multiple enemies at once. Also the latron has better ammo-economy than the braton (even if you TRIED to run out of ammo with the latron, it would be pretty darn hard...the braton can run empty relatively quickly by comparison).

At medium range, both weapons perform about the same...the braton can burst fire and do about the same DPS (missing a few shots but landing most of them at a high fire rate) as the Latron (hitting very precise, high-damage hits).

At long range, the latron wins without much of a question.

At close range, the braton is more comfortable to use and, since you probably aren't missing bullets at this point, does higher DPS. The latron can still function but won't perform as well.
