Thank you for restating gun mechanics that someone else already pointed out. That aside, the main problem is that there are FAR better weapons found around the 30's that have better crowd control and dps, such as the Mixmaster. I found the Jupiter particularly difficult to use because of its low fire rate. On top of that, the damage is inexcusably low for a sniper (like you said).

The arcing effect doesn't even make up for it because the way it works is too complex for practical situations. The fact that you had to go into detail to explain it is already a problem in itself. Chances are a Gigavolt can do better (considering the most recent update didn't completely break it), adding to that problem. These issues become more apparent when you start getting [RED] versions, where the zombies are much tougher.

You tried to convince others that the Jupiter is better than average. Would you have needed to explain the complex arcing effect and list a bunch of "useful" augments to reach that conclusion if it was actually good? No, because realistically, would you need a bunch of text to convince someone that a gun such as the Hornet is good? It is because other and better alternatives exist is the reason why the Jupiter is terrible.
