Correction to one of my previous comments:

This gun does not produce an arcing effect for every zombie pierced, unfortunately. I discovered that the arcing effect only takes place to targets adjacent to the projectile's line of travel. Also, the pierce value is divided between zombies penetrated by the main projectile and zombies hit by the arcing effect.

Some examples (unaugmented, 5 pierce):

Case 1: Five zombies are lined up perfectly so that the main projectile would hit all of them. Arcing effect does not take place at all.

Case 2: One zombie and a group nearby, but off to the side of the projectile's line of travel. Main projectile hits the lone zombie, arcing effect hits up to four other zombies.

Case 3: Two zombies in line and a group nearby, but off to the side again. Main projectile hits the two zombies, both zombies cause an arcing effect that hits up to three other zombies.

Conclusion: It's not as effective as we thought it was, but still half-decent.
