The spread is only terrible if you're using Castanas over a longer than 15m range. Otherwise it's a playstyle difference instead of a no-no... if you think it's fun to snipe with Castanas then yes, no multishot, not even Barrel Diffusion. Otherwise, if you want to deal the most dps for single targets and large packs you're always better off with at least BD. Lethal Torrent is worth using also, since it makes throwing out 3 reliable, and therefore makes you less likely to blow yourself up while using castanas on the move.

The magazine capacity and long travel times with heavy arcing makes using Castanas for long range... very unfun imo, even if you're not using MS. They feel better and definitely do more damage when treated as if you're laying mines, planting c4 on enemies, or aim gliding and detonating them in the air over enemies.
