It's a weapon that feel good to use. Satisfying firing is what I mean. And it's pretty strong. Though semi-auto mode seems a bit pointless (snipers do the same thing just a lot better). Full-auto is one of the most powerful in the game though. Never saw anyone who would like burst-fire weapons.

Punch through is pretty bad, because it's worse than AoE (where you click once barely aiming, even if you're flying by, and everything is gone), as it still only penetrates in a line, so you'll have to stop, aim, turn, position yourself right for it to be useful, not to mention adding punchthrough means you had to compromise on damage somewhere.

BTW, sobek isn't meta cause it's not that good. Kohm is a mostly better version of it (more damage, fire rate and bullets, also slash damage instead of impact). Only the two sobek-specific mods save it, and even then, one of them adds no damage and still requires you to kill the enemy first to be ųseful. Maybe if you have a riven + scattered justice + acid shells then I could see it being pretty good.

Meta doesn't come from somewhere. If you were to not look at the meta, and try out stuff, you'd end up using similar tactics probably. I know I first started using some weapons that jusr felt strong, then found out they were meta after (talking back about the days of valkyr and galatine). Meta is just people figuring out what works best. Doesn't mean other things aren't viable, just if it's a little less efficient, it's left on the sidelines.
