Neither is better all the time. I don't have the information required to compare DPS objectively. I don't know the rate of fire on the core flaylock. I suspect that two guns switch off overall damage output more than once over the course of a 10 second engagement. I also suspect that the flaylock does more damage past 10 seconds. Not sure I lagree with a sidearm ultimately doing more damage than a light in a similar role, but ultimately it isn't THAT broken. The radius is 2/3rds the size.
What isn't OK is the PG requirements of the Core Flaylock. Two? The Freedom is 14. There is no real reason to NOT fit a core flaylock on a side arm slot. The PG cost is so low that 5 ranks of Flaylock Fitting Optimization does not have an effect on the overall PG cost of the weapon. |

MD got nerfed and bugged. The core flaylock is pretty solid while the others are pretty meh. I think the Toxin SMG is still the best sidearm. |

Because the Flaylock's splash damage is nearly identical to its direct damage also its base reload speed is 2.5 seconds, the AR with rapid reload level 5 is 2.55 seconds. |

Core Flaylocks have the fastest TTK on armor suits outside of OHKO's, which are pretty rare. I've quite literally died to them almost before I even knew I was being shot at; by the time the first hit registers the next is almost at you already. But that has as much to do with the (excessive?) damage bonus explosives have against armor as it does with the weapon itself.
Sure 3 rounds can be rough but conveniently enough it doesn't actually have to hit you. It has a quick reload as well.
I've never used them so I won't pretend to have the best understanding of them, but the RPM appears to be kind of high. It's not listed though so I can't actually compare it and the MD's. From the "getting shot at" side of things, it appears to shoot 2 to 3 times faster than the MD. |

As a completely unrelated side comment, if you were actually dying to 4 AR rounds your suit is laughably bad.

I do wonder what the DPS is on a Core Flaylock. Too bad CCP can't be arsed to add in all stats like they said they would.
So I just cherry picked some of the more blatant examples, but we both know you're all over those threads arguing for a TAC nerf.
Now here's a refresher:

I've only seen the core flaylock do any major dmg when compared to the other weapons. The blast radius on the standards are too small to use as a reliable weapon. I only use the standards because I think its fun but know I'd be better off with a standard smg. |

Conceptually I really like the Flaylock, pistol. I mean it is kind of the Warhammer 40,000 Bolt Pistol, lobbing little rockets at people, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense. In a game where you have to score (virtually) a direct hit with a vehicle-mounted missile launcher, you have people forgoing the use of the weapon they should be using and just trying to gun people down with their pistol. Contrary to how that might seem from movies and video games where you might think, "he's so skilled!" they are doing it here because they really only need to get marginally close with the pistol, you know, within a few feet. I would have to agree that its current iteration is just not working so well. |

Shoots rapidly fast. I'd say as fast as a HMG if you can tap it fast enough. direct hit gets splash and direct dmg for about 500+ dmg. It's OP as hell definitely the best gun in the game today. |

Core Flaylock with level 5 Pro and Ops: 275.8 damage with 246.7 splash damage over 2.5 meters.
Mass Driver with level 5 Pro and Ops: 306.1 damage with 146.7 splash damage over 4.1 meters.
Proto missile launcher (small) with 15% damage bonus from skills: 523.3 damage with 261.6 splash damage over 2 meters
Proto missile launcher (large) with 15% damage bonus from skills: 583.1 damage with 119.6 splash damage over 3 meters
Anybody else notice some oddities here? Such as the mass driver getting more splash radius and more damage than large missile turrets? Or perhaps the flaylock having more splash radius than the small missile launcher while only dealing 20 less damage? |

I think you have quantified what a lot of us have been feeling. The other observation worth mentioning is that the burst damage from the other weapons listed (or in this class) is that most of them are doing no more than 50% splash damage, some, like you pointed out, more down there in the 20% range. |

There is something wrong with it, though. I was not exaggerating when I said it has the fastest TTK on armor suits of any weapon in the game, besides a direct Forge Gun hit. On a sidearm...
The Scrambler Pistol isn't better than the rifle. Sure it can be beastly if you string together a couple headshots, but in almost 6 months of playing, that's happened to me exactly once. |
