Economically, pierecing makes sense.

Even just for killing rate, if you have 2 zombies back to back or more than 2 zombies lined up, then each bullet will have twice the killing power. Now you'll only need half or maybe bit more than half of bullet capcity to kill the same number of zombies.

Unless the zombies are spreaded out so far that the "spread" of a single shotgun bullet do not hit more than 2 at once, then capcity will be "signifcantlY" better than pierce. But for most part, pierce works almost as good a capcity.

Pierce = double the hit rate for tempest and saves on capcity if more than 2 zombies are lined up such that the spread of the shotgun pellet will hit more than 2 at once.

Now the question is, how important is the adapative vs. overclock for nightmare mode? Is it worth to add 4th slot for adapative on [red] tempest for nightmare or save it for [black] weapons. So far, all of my black weapons are fairly crappy unlike the [red] weapons that I've found.
