So I re-rolled my NL Shadow 701X with full auto, explosive rounds and spray and play. I think it is pretty decent, love this scout with full auto, it's like a heavy duty Suros, but can't help feeling crowd control would be better? Then again, spray and play is useful for automatic weapons... Any advice people?
Edit: turns out explosive rounds deal a fair amount of additional dmg but I seem to get less crits with them, either way, loving this roll, I've even ascended it to 365.
Edit 2: this is a decent scout for PvP too!

I keep being told explosive rounds isn't good for PVP so I went for Hand Laid Stock. It takes the mag to 17 but the stability is insane. Unfortunately it's outclassed by Thorn, TLW, Red Death, Vex, and a couple other hand cannons & pulse rifles so I just vaulted mine. Try to get Red Dot OAS because it has better target acquisition. Crowd Control would be great too.
