Not going crit with this weapon is a mistake. Those babies are very suitable for an hybrid crit/statut build, which usually are the most powerful build in the game, especially when its main IPS component is slash (which is the case here). Just go 2 forma with Hornet Strike, Primed Pistol Gambit, Primed Target Cracker, Lethal Torrent, Barrel Diffusion, Frostbite, Pistol Pestilence, and whatever 8th mod (I went with Hollow Point but Augur Pact, Hydrolic Crosshairs, and a lot of other mods are also very good, you can also put a 3rd forma for heavier mods). This build will proc a lot of deadly crit bleed procs which will melt lvl 160 heavy gunner / bombard very quickly (tested and approuved in the Simulacrum). Viral is just an extra quick gimmick, corrosive is a waste because enemies will die anyway before you could shred a decent amount of their armor. Don't forget that for statut priority, IPS damage weight 4x more than elemental damage, so the weapon will proc way more bleed proc than viral proc, which is exactly what we want because bleed stacks, viral has just to be applied once every 6s (but they'll be dead before that anyway).
