ha, sometimes. only if the enemy is low-level enough 2 not be a bullet sponge. still needs an impact buff :) & possibly a larger magazine? Thorn- lvl 20 exotic- 6 round mag & what looks like a 50% impact rating compared to my lvl 18 rare Regulator MK. 56- 11 round mag & what looks like an 80%- 90% impact rating
