Downsides:

-Burst.

-High Recoil.

-Projectile weapon slowness.

-Harpoon takes annoyingly long to charge.

Upsides:

-Similar base damage to the Boltor Prime.

-Crit viable  (If anyone says it isn't, they are mathematically illiterate, and should go have  chat with the Latron Prime).

-Projectile weapon multi-kills without punch-through.

-Faster projectiles than most projectile weapons barring the Dread/ParisP/RCernos.

-High clip size.

-Anyone who says it's a reskinned Paracyst is a moron, because Paracyst is a highly accurate low recoil (practically 0, really) burst elemental status weapon with low damage, and this is a physical crit weapon with high damage and high recoil.

All in all, it actually probably out-DPSes the Boltor Prime with a moderate crit build (not joking) but it has significantly higher kick, and is burst fire, so it's probably best used at short to mid range. It's also crit viable, and heavily puncture, so Grineer will generally be a cakewalk with this gun (pretty weird for a Grineer weapon to be majority puncture though). You'd also think the status was meh, but since it's shooting 5-6 projectiles per burst once you slot Split Chamber, 10% is actually very good.

This weapons is VERY good at clearing hordes of enemies at medium range.
