The Akbronco Prime Description Is A Lie.

[Rettycombine]

"Used together, these Orokin pistols feed off eachother inflicting greater damage"

 

AkBronco prime base damage in total: 104

Bronco Prime base damage in total: 139

they have a buffed critical damage critical chance and status chance and magazine size which makes there damage output greater so no its not a lie

 

this is like saying the mk1 braton is better than the soma because the soma has half the base damage you cant look at only the base damage you have to take into account its other stats

While that is 100% true, it still feels wrong that the dual version deals less damage then the single. You are basically holding 2 of them, if anything I would want it to at least have the same base damage as the single version, having less feels so weird. You don't make a gun any less stronger by holding a second one. The increased status, chance, crits, ect all make perfect sense since your shooting more rounds per shot, but that damage just is not right.

If they were going to say that they would probably have written "has higher critical and status chance than its single counterpart, allowing for greater potential damage output"

 

And also how it is worded, "inflicting greater damage", It does not say it has a  potential for greater damage, it just says that it has greater damage.

Nnnnnno, it's a lie. Crit damage is not higher damage, it's a chance for higher damage per pellet if you're lucky. It doesn't even make sense for them to have higher critical chances, it's the same gun in both hands as the single version. Higher rate of fire and magazine capacity and slower reloads were the main reason dual sidearms were originally added, and there's no modification to the guns in the construction process to actually explain why Akbronco Prime hits less than Bronco Prime.

According to the wiki right now...

 

Akbronco Prime
104 Damage
2.5% crit chance of 200% damage, averages out to 109.2 damage unmodded.
(Crit adds ~5.2 damage when averaged out.)

Bronco Prime
139 Damage
2.5% crit chance of 150% damage, averages out to 144.2 damage unmodded.
(Crit.... still adds ~5.2 damage when averaged out.)

 

The Akbronco Prime starts out weaker per-shot, which is an issue... but the higher multiplier on the Akbronco Prime and the higher mag size and fire rate should allow for higher damage when modded since the base crit damage multiplier is higher.

 

But are these wiki stats correct for both of them?  They list the same base crit chance.
