They should honestly try putting out more weapons that provide buffs for skilled players. Like on headshot procs. If this weapon gave a buff like that then i would suggest it in a heartbeat but unfortunately it is rather average. It has decent crit chance but is ruined by rather low base dmg values. The weapon i chose to properly compare it with is actually 6 MRs lower than this one, most can guess it rght off the bat. :d The weapon of course is the Boltor P.

While this weapon is, of course, a hit-scan weapon and does have a 50% larger mag as well as +5% base crit chance it suffers in terms of base dmg values and because of that the Bolto P ends up eating it up in tests, with both using the same crit build: Argon Scope, Point Strike, Vital Sense, Split Chamber, Serration, Infected Clip, Stormbringer & Shred.

Granted, the Boltor P is currently vaulted there are still weapons that easily out dmg it for the current MR requirement. I am beginning to wonder if DE really plans to ballance weapons by their MR or not and if so does this mean that these are examples of what they plan to have them at? If that is the case then i can see a lot of weapons either going way up in MR req. or getting a hefty nerf. Either way this weapon is another one that you can play around with for fun but isn't worth wasting forma in at this time unless you have nothing better to do.
