Yeah, I'm trying to get the level 5 assault rifle mastery. Of course it's no Hornet or COM2 when it comes to what it can do (those have 5 - with masteries - to 7 pierce) but it can still get the job done.

I once was able to stand complete STILL for a crowd of elite apex runners and nightmarish apex runners on onslaught when they spawned just as I got into the loot area. Never got hit and I was able to kill them all with barely any help from the other players. That shows a Hard Thorn can save you despite the 1 pierce.

By underrated, I mean a lot of people say the gun isn't good at all. I don't know of a lot of people other than myself, you, Rapid Fire, Bing445, LBobaFett, and 4thDimensionTraveler.
