Which weapons currently benefit most from Hammer Shot? Off the top of my head, it seems like the Lanka and Latron Prime would both get very decent benefits from Hammer Shot, especially if you don't want to sacrifice any accuracy (or don't have enough mod space, as HC can take up to double the mod points compared to HS) with Heavy Caliber. The Lanka and Latron P. would benefit from both the crit damage and improved status chance, although you're not going to see nearly as much benefit until you start getting into higher level enemies. My Lanka was just slaughtering everything in a T3 Survival, but when I got to the 30 to 40 minute range, I wasn't insta-killing everything with headshots anymore, but practically every heavy gunner was getting corrosive proc-ed when I shot them in addition to doing a ton of crit damage. It's not the absolute optimal damage build, but it was definitely working Void enemies over, and it also very enjoyable to see status effects everywhere (also had Malignant Force on there, BTW).

Any other weapons that are get significant benefits from Hammer Shot? I'm sure I forgetting some.

No need to give me the TITS "use a Bane mod!" talk. I have and use all of the faction-specific mods already. I happen to find status effects to be quite useful with certain weapons and against certain enemies, particularly viral, corrosive, and blast procs. Max pure damage isn't the only useful way to mod a weapon.
