I still have 2 of them pretty sure I'm going to ascend them when I have a chance. I also have deviant, jolders, swarm and pretty much all the new ones from how. I understand what you mean about the impact but I feel the rate of fire helps make up the shortfall with that. Pretty sure I have field scout and perfect balance or whatever it's called so any rounds tend to go where intended. Also the number of times its been unleashed on atheon means it must be kept and ascended, good chance he'll just pick up his jacket and leave the vault when I show him it again ;-)
