I will simply give stat comparason 1st the my opinion:

Sicarus Prime          Magnus

Hit-scan               Hit-scan

3-burst                Semi-Auto

5.0 Fire Rate       5.8 Fire rate

20 rounds            8 rounds

2 sec reload        2 sec reload

Total 35              Total 45

12.8 imp              20.25 imp

9.8 Pierce           12.375 pierce

9.8 slash             12.375 slash

10% crit ch          20% crit ch

150% crit dam     200% crit dam

10% status          20% status

That is bassically it. I left recoil and Accuracy ut because the measurements can be hard to understand

The Sicarus Prime would be beat if it was a single shot weapon. However this is a 3 round burst, which means that the damage can be multiplied by 3, assuming you land every shot. The sicarus prime may seem like it will be hard to use as a burst weapon but in reality its higher fire rate and lower recoil than most burst weapons make it effective at all but the longest ranges.

Over all I would say Sicarus Prime. However this weapon can be painful to farm for. I would suggest building the Magnus or, if you have a spare 100K, getting the AkLex which shares almost every stat except having 100% accuracy when zoomed and having a higher base damage at the cost of insane recoil and slower fire rate.

Hope this helped :D
