^ WRONG-O, SPAGHETTI-O! ^

'''Soma is not remotely as efficient as several of the other top DPS weapons... it's just the most general of them.'''

Latron prime is literally about 4x as ammo efficient, and Ogris and Penta are even well above that. Boltor Prime is about twice as ammo efficient. Synapse is sliiightly more ammo efficient. Phage is about ten times as efficient as Soma for ammo...

Most efficient for getting weak spot multi-crit scaling? Synapse. It effectively gains accuracy when you add Heavy Caliber to it.

Crowd control? Are you serious?  At the level where crowd control means simply killing the whole crowd in a second, Ogris and Penta are far, far, far more efficient and rapid. Synapse will keep up with the Soma, and Phage will beat it, as will Boltor Prime.

'''As for REAL crowd control, the winner is definitely Grakata, followed closely by Boar Prime, Gorgon Wraith, Latron Prime or, possibly, Ogris. Grakata will hit a 52% status proc chance per bullet, two bullets per shot, up to 38 times per second, and punch through as well, all with the same build. '''Boar Prime will get up to an average of 176% status proc chance per shot, at a rate of 14.8 shells per second.   WraiGon hits 39% per bullet for two bullets per shot on a build that fires very nearly as fast as Grakata,  Latron Prime can be built with a status proc chance of up to 65% per bullet, on two bullets per shot, and Ogris 'can hit up to 26% on each of two rockets in an utterly massive AoE'.

ALL OF THESE ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY DEMOLISH THE SOMA'S WEAK-AZZ 19.5 * 2 PER SHOT.
