Despair is better than kunai. It does less damage to light infested and to the "gun" part of MOA but does more damage to everything else.

It has lower DPS than the bronco, akfuris and twin vipers, but only barely. However the akfuris and twin vipers both have terrible ammo efficiency and they, along with the bronco, don't have armor ignore or armor pierce so against high level enemies they actually do less damage than despair.

Dual broncos are the only competition to despair in my opinion because they have far greater DPS and are ammo efficient as well. However, without armor ignore or armor pierce they will also eventually do less DPS than despair once you reach high enough levels, so it depends if you want to do high wave defense missions or not.
