Clips size has no bearing on dps. Maybe a little bit with sustained dps, but not in terms of burst dps which is really where boltor prime is used for. Dps comes from the fire rate and the damage. A 20% increase to damage does increase the dps, but I would say its high enough to put it above the boltor prime. I would say they are about the same. So before you say it has higher dps, learn to understand what dps means. If you have to fire more than an entire clip into one enemy with the boltor prime, you are doing something wrong. The total amount of firing time is 10 seconds for the boltor prime and about 13 seconds for the soma prime unmodded. That really won't change the sustained dps that much since the boltor prime has a faster reload anyways.
