So, I did some math, and came up with a base DPM (Damage Per Minute, like DPS, but taking into account how many seconds you spend shooting for every second spent reloading).

Unmodded, Twin Viper has a S/R ratio of 0.59 seconds, while Afuris has 1.30. This value multiplied with DPS (damage*fire rate) and total amount of time (60 seconds since we want DPM), gives TwiVi a DPM of 1075.2 and Afuris a DPM of 2940. This doesn't take into account max ammo however, and since TwiVi is unarguably more ammo effective (more damage per ammo spent and has the same max ammo) it kind of depends. However, modded (With max ranked: Fire Rate, Multishot, Base Damage and Clip Size) TwiVi gets a DPM of 4407 while Afuris doesn't scale nearly as well in that regard with 8574.

Currently working on a Google Spreadsheet for this kind of stuff, just want some more things I could put into it. :)
