Heavy Caliber yields more damage on headshots than Hammer Shot, including red crits. But considering headshots are the goal, I would still advise Hammer Shot over Heavy Caliber.

That being said, a Bane mod will yield marginally more damage than Hammer Shot on normal crits, but marginally less damage on red crits (assuming you're also using Vital Sense).

Personally, the only reason I would use Hammer Shot instead of a faction damage mod is against Corrupted, since there are no faction damage mods for them.
