Talk:Heavy Caliber/@comment-26351351-20160412123237

Has anyone tested this on bows _without_ multishot? Do bows still have their automatic 100% accuracy while zoomed if you remove Split Chamber and add Heavy Caliber instead?

I'm just asking because, _if_ that's the case, using it on bows might be advantageous in certain cases. Specifically, Ivara's Navigator ignores multishot and only uses one of your shots anyway. And even when not using navigator, split chamber + serration only averages 17% more damage compared to heavy caliber and serration, assuming all are maxed, so it's not a completely crippling damage disadvantage, especially when you factor in the extra reliability (no 10% chance of not getting a second shot).

You'd also lose the second chance at status, but bows aren't exactly status machines as it is.
