Your horrendous knowledge of basic spelling and grammar is all I need to extrapolate a position on the condition of your general mental faculties, and I judge them to be of an inferior quality.

As for a formulaic approach, I would suggest comparing this weapon to a comparable short range high dps firearm and choose the grakata. The afuris, being a pistol, therefore has superior mods, for example Hornet Shot improving by 20% per rank rather then 15% for Serration, which is additionally compounded by the afuris' - polarity slot, allowing for the cheaper use of superior elemental mods. Additionally, though both weapons have the exact same rate of fire, 20.0, the Afuris deals nearly 100% more damage per bullet then the grakata, which also has a smaller magazine and only a marginally faster reload time of 2.37 seconds over the afuris' 2.80 seconds, hardly enough to allow the grakata to overtake the afuris within a reasonble time, if at all considering the extended magazine of the afuris improving its firing time:reload time ratio, and therefore directly bolstering its damage by providing an additional half second to apply another 140 damage. The grakata's crits are its only "redeeming" quality, but even then the margin is fairly small. With a 7.5% chance to crit, only 2.5% more then the afuris' 5.0%, its not exactly a huge boon, especially considering that we've already established the Afuris already does about twice the damage of the grakata, meaning the grakata would need to land a crit at least once in every four bullets, a 25% chance, to even keep pace with the afuris, which could alternatively be applying the same mod energy to boosting its raw damge, which would therefore require even more crit chance for the grakata to keep up, which is clearly impossible due to damage being able to stack far higher then crit chances, with this being especially true for the superior pistol mods. Additionally, for simplicity's sake, this critical argument ignores the fact that the afuris also has a critical hit chance boosting its own damage per second.

Therefore, I must conclude that the grakata is in fact, inferior to the afuris and that the OP's hypthesis that the afuris is the worst gun in the game is incorrect. Additionally, the poster above this comment is not only incorrect, but should learn how to still his tongue before they say something stupid under the guise of false intellect. I have not posted the actual numbers, only generalizations as I figured this wall of text required pruning and my point would still be made, however if you are interested in specifics, the damage calculator on this site can provide additional supporting evidence and can be found here:
