Bladed Rounds wins out in most situations. Really depends on the weapon and the situation. Rapid fire or wide beam spread weapons like the Amprax will benefit farm more from BR's as you will be constantly procing that extra crit damage on critical hits. Since the Amprex has a whopping 32% crit chance, throwing on a Point Strike give you a massive 80% crit chance without a Riven, which for a beam weapon is huge and will yield yellow criticals for days and allow you to melt enemies.

For snipers or any sort of precision weapon such as the Opticor, I would go with AS as you will be able to constantly proc the effect. With a Point Strike you will only get 50% crit chance on the Opticor, so it really needs that buff from AS as the weapon is clearly a BFG designed to utterly wreck large single targets. Not really viable with Bladed Round's as you need a kill first to proc the effect and you lose the effect if you zoom out, which you do with AS as well, but you simply only need to hit the head of the target to reproc it instead of getting a kill.

I have an Opticor Vandal and I opted to remove Heavy Caliber to run BR's and AS with Hunter Munitions. The reason I did this is even though having Heavy Caliber on meant I have a slight DPS advantage, even with a Riven boosting crit chance by 121% I still only achieve 89% crit chance with Point Strike. Since I need to proc crits to proc a bleed proc on the enemy and since I only have a 30% chance of doing that on a crit, I opted to instead use AS over heavy caliber because it will be far more consistent. 124% crit chance, so we are gaurenteed a crit with a 24$ chance for orange crits which helps boost the bleed proc from Hunter Munitions. I have tested it in the simulator many times and found it far better. Also, I use Vigalante Armaments instead of Split Chamber, because I have 72% MS on my Riven, so I don't need that extra 30% from SC and I also gain a 5% chance to upgrade my crits, which is nice. I have actually manage to proc a few red crit bleeds on enemies at level 200+ and it takes them down like they are nothing. Really fun.

Sorry for the essay, but just experiment with your builds.
