This, and if you miss once or twice it won't matter as much as if you did with one that has higher damage per shot, but less shots.Flour said:If the weapons are balanced, it wouldn't matter.megapenguinx said:Rate of fire! Higher rate=more damage in a shorter amount of time!
The higher rate of fire would have lower damage and the higher damage would have a lower rate of fire, both doing the same amount of damage in the same amount of time.
But I agree on your weapon choice for a slightly different reason, I prefer to see health being slowly drained by a steady stream of damage than lowered by chunks.
