Solar:
Distance was greater than 1 hex and skill was 300% in both. My guy has no perks other than Awareness and Silent Running.

Considering there's a perk giving 2 extra damage per bullet times two, for a total of 40 bullets fired you get 80 more damage, while with the pancor you gain 10. Take that into account when calculating next time, because it's the same if I'd compare a sniper rifle to a plasma rifle without better critical, for a LK1 character. We're talking about REAL numbers.

Though its actually more like a difference of +24.7 damage to +6 damage vs CA.

Then with an Avenger 173, 239, 55, 127, 68, 131, 123, 131, 84, 180. Average of 131.1.
Highly unscientific and I'd actually expect the Avenger to do ~9% extra damage over time, but Jackhammers are not weak.

no one is saying jackhammer is weak, but unlike other weapons he still cost a lot, but can be used in very rare occasions thus we expect it to be devastating weapon in those occasions where you can use it :>

Thing is that we don't have a variety of ammo for shotgun to choose, so the penetration is very weak, so is the range and without penetration, the damage output itself is crap. That seems to be the main problem, as the gun itself is pretty decent, even for it's price.
