I wasn't using base stats for my tests. I tested this with The Build to Rule Them All (changing from viral and corrosive as well as shred as the last slot). To explain in detail of my tests explained in the comment. corrosive kills faster with both the weapons(or the difference was so miniminal that corrosive was more pratical on higher-armored targets). Full-Auto Argonark has enough status to go through the armor but lacks the crit to go through the armor(unlike the Stradavar), while the Semi-Auto Argonark has enough crit to punch through the flesh but shares the same proc rate as the semi-auto stradavar, so it loses because puncture partialy ingores armor. my point is the argonark kills faster if you take advanange of the status potiental of full-auto and the crit potiental of the semi-auto it will quite easily compete with the stradavar. which makes the argonark more pratical, even if it's not objectivily better. This fact is obviously dependant on how activily you want to switch fire modes as well as how easy it is for you to do so.(though that's kind of the whole point of the weapons) I can't test munitions because my gaming computer finaly died but I doubt it would compete even against it's corrosive counterpart because, even with Point Strike. munitions will only give a 18% chance to proc slash(21% for semi-auto). This is against a slash-based status weapon with still decent crit in comparison.
