answering chord. This archetype has extremely low base stability but it is deceptively small. Without stability perks at all the lower fire rate and higher impact both keep the gun somewhat balanced on it's own and it is extremely manageable without upgrades. If you can find a range and stability perk though? You're golden. Check out the one on my titan. It's a beast and all four perk nodes modify the gun in some awesome ways (very stable with medium stability, less stability with crazy range, etc). It's also got unflinching which helps keep your crit hits consistent in PvP and PvE.
