if the target is within range of the weapon, a fully modded sweeper is extremely deadly. it will take down enemies well into the 30-40 range in 1-2 shots. also, since it is a shotgun, it generally hits with at least some of the pellets so its doing some amount of damage. while other weapons that use projectiles, like the laser rifles, will miss with all of their shots repeatedly.

the only weapon that could give the sweeper a run for its money with the horrendous targeting problems sentinels have is the deth machine rifle. it has a series of flaws to it as well, but fully modded can do respectable damage once it gets spooled up. the main problem, even then, is you are probably killing enemies too fast for the deth machine rifle to do much of anything except repeatedly try to get spooled up. the sweeper does its damage in big bursts so it remains effective.
