Now lets do a little math,

lets say we a a Duvolle Assault Rifle and a Boundless Assault Mass Driver. now in a 10 sec burst from each i will start with the Boundless Assault Mass Driver then the Duvolle Assault Rifle. these are based on level 5 skills fyi

Boundless Assault Mass Driver

Direct Damage183.655

Splash Damage88.09

ROF 75 Per Min

Clip 8

Reload speed 3.4 sec

so we take 60/75 = .8 witch is our rounds per sec so in a 10 second burst a massdrive can shoot 12.5 rounds so we will call it 9 because it has a 3.4 second reload once it hits 8 rounds "8*.8 =6.4 sec + 3.4 =9.8 so we will call it 9 rounds.

now lets say you get hit by all 9 rounds that comes to

Direct Damage 1652.895 or... Splash Damage 792.81 for a 10 sec burst

not bad looks impressive....

Now using the same math

Duvolle Assault Rifle

Direct Damage 43.01

ROF 750 per min

Clip 60

Reload speed 2.55 sec

so we take 60/750 = .08 witch is our rounds per sec so in a 10 second burst a AR can shoot 125 rounds so we will call it 93.75 because it has a 2.55 second reload once it hits 60 rounds "8*.8 =4.8 sec + 2.55 =7.35 leaving 2.65 witch = about 33.75 rounds so 60 + 33.75 = 93.75 and all the rounds fired for 10 sec. so we will call it 93.75 rounds.

Direct Damage 4032.1875 for a 10 sec burst.

now i ask you witch of these 2 guns need a nerf?

That is a anti infantry weapon now ass you you complaining that it kiss people in 1-2 rounds i call shenanigans it take me and i have max skills for this gun, almost all 8 rounds of my assault mass driver to strip all you shield tanks if you not fluxed before hand... remember kiddies it had a -20% damaged debuff to shields and a +20% buff to damage armor. so if you keep getting killed by one run away... let your shields recharge and attack from a different direction. a head on attack dose not always work lol and thats how i kill most of you guys. also, im a medic i runna an amarr logie bro. so i heal drop nanohives and keep my squad up you know what they should nerf... the six man squad tactics lmao.... thats the real issue here they need to make a match every man for him self. no more of this squad ****... jk love my tactical shooter

Have you tried using it competitively? The MD isn't exactly an all-powerful weapon IMO, I can get 5x's more kills in a match with an AR, and with less effort too. The MD excels at being annoying and getting lots of assists, but that is about all it excels at. Its an area denial and a suppression weapon. if your hiding behind cover and you keep getting hit buy it. move.. its called shoot and scoot. On top of that you can see it coming its not the fastest moving projectile in the game. grenades that you toss get to their target before a massdriver round makes it on target.
