The Dex Furis is underrated compared to the Akstiletto Prime. When fully modded with the same builds (2 elementals, Primed Pistol Gambit, Primed Target Cracker, Hornet Strike, Lethal Torrent, Barrel Diffusion, Augur Pact), the Dex Furis has approximately 20% more burst DPS over the Akstiletto Prime due to the 67% (1.67x) bigger clip size, and the 174% (2.74x) faster fire rate with Lethal Torrent. This fire rate also means that it will apply Status Effect 147% (2.47x) faster than the Akstiletto Prime.

However, the Akstiletto Prime still wins in many practical ways with about a 4% higher sustained DPS over the Dex Furis, due to the 134% (2.34x) more damage per bullet/ammo efficiency, and 182% (1.82x) faster reload speed. The Dex Furis is also much less suited for medium-range combat because of the recoil and significantly lower accuracy.

Aksteletto Prime: 4% more sustained DPS, 2.34x more ammo effecient/damage per bullet, 67% faster reload, much more range/accuracy withless recoil.

Dex Furis: 20% more initial burst DPS, shoots and applies Status Effect 2.47x faster.

If you only engage at close range and really don't use your secondary much, just needing it for the occasional burst/stripping armor, the Dex Furis is a good choice. Otherwise, you are really going to be hard pressed for ammo. Even with Carrier and Ammo Case.
