Look at it this way: much of the reason Gorgon was removed is that Soma is it, except better in practically every single way. Gorgon has a fairly large bullet spread, Soma has sniper rifle level accuracy and maintains a small cone even at full spool at long range. Gorgon has acceptable DPS, while Soma can tear through high level enemies like rice paper. Gorgon has more of a classic chaingun feel to it and it's still fun to use, but it's entirely outclassed by Soma to the point that comparing the two is like comparing an assault rifle with a nuclear bomb. If you're trying to decide which one to potato, Soma not only benefits more but will serve you well in any situation. I use it for any extremely high level alert, it's almost a necessity for soloing T3 voids on weaker frames, and it strips through every boss in the game in no time (Without a single forma, it's capable of killing Ambulas, the boss of Pluto, in one clip). I still keep the Gorgon around when I want to go full Rambo on some low-level enemies, but if you're looking for a chaingun that will see you through anything, Soma is the way to go.
