1869 Avenger (Average of 93.45) 1614 LSW (Average of 80.7)
Result as expected, again. (Theres nothing in the uncalled crit table that would favour LSW, so its like psycho and won't change relative power level.
Avenger is better.
Also, bursts still way out perform sniper type weapons in damage terms. There will be more perks (like stonewall) that protect against crit effects and a trait to reduce the crit roll ... snipers just haven't had all of their toning down done yet.
Fast Shot will be more useful - its actually useful for builds now though. Fast shot, pistol build + living anatomy. The concept will be expanded with future perk reworks though - at the moment its only really 14mm, .223 pistol and plasma pistol that are pvp kind of level.
