The Hornet is a more precise weapon, though. The Shockfield has a huge spread, which diminishes its effectiveness at range or against widely-dispersed mobs. The Hornet can also achieve an RPS of 12 maxed-out, and a default un-aug'd Pierce of 5 with Sniper Rifle Mastery. This makes it more effective than the Shockfield in tight areas like hallways. Thankfully, my Assault's primary load-out includes boths guns, so I don't envy anyone who has only one and not the other. :-D
