It's one of the worse DPS weapons with it's slow rate and reload, but now that's it penetrates armor it's one of the best armor pen weapon available.

Against lvl 2 Grineer the Snipetron hits for 150 (extra from AP elemental) from a body shot. The Vulkar hits for 41 (66% resist to normal) from a body shot.

Now consider higher level Grineer with higher resistances where the Vulkar falls off more and more, and the Grineer will keep hitting for 150% forever.

Awesome support weapon (except on bosses) with the most reliable elemental damage in the game, absolutely outclasses the Vulkar. I bought and potato'd mine back BEFORE it had innate armor pen.
