I'm finding it difficult to justify the loss of a free +10 Stability on guns for a "5-10% increase" on flinch. Is this flinch increase noticeable? Can anyone here say that they've honestly won a gunfight because of the increased flinch put out by HC rounds, or is it a placebo?
This is only about PvP btw. In PvE, I prefer HC rounds because they consistently stunlock and stagger enemies.

The flinch is scaled by weapon type and weapon archtype. Not worth using on hand cannons. Good with sidearms, autos, smgs and high rof pulses but only if you can afford not using ricochet rounds for the stability. Personally I only use it on sidearms and rapid fire pulses.
