Actually it is an option, but not the one you think.

Critical delay mostly exist for weapons that work on principle "one shot one kill" like vectis or any of the crit-based bows, but it also can be used on critical rifles like soma or grakata.

However! It won't increase your DPS, it probably will decrease it, but it will make your soma more ammo-efficient in 2 ways:

1) It will increase the chance of the crit, meaning you will not-crit more rarely, making those bullets count (rather than dealing barely any damage)

2) It will decrease fire rate tus decreasing amounts of ammo wasted on single targets. Soma's fire rate is so high that you most likely will shoot a bunch of bullets into nowhere basically wasting them, unless you are a genius that can stop shooting the moment target's health will drop to 0%. With critical delay you will be more in control of that process. Besides you can always counter critical delay's fire rate reduction with something like shred or speed trigger.

Personally i started to like soma a little bit more with critical delay installed because high fire rates make me sick...
