This is awesome work. Thanks for spending the time to research this. On a side note the "as is" Slimar's Wrath has a great set of default perks. After rolling countless variants I spent a little time and upgraded the Silimar's that was on the vendor and made an interesting discover:
The combination of counter balance and perfect balance is very cool. Counterbalance actually removes horizontal recoil, so the barrel only recoils upwards when enabled. Combine that with perfect balance and the "as is" Silimar's has near laser precision. From what've read the glass is half full mod increases damage starting at halway through the clip with 1-2% increase and totals out at 6%. The information was older, prior to recent patches and I haven't tested to confirm. If the recent patches increased this it might be very cool. I also read that Auto Rifle's don't suffer a body shot damage penalty like hand cannons, etc... so this explains why some of my buddies like these bullet hoses for enemies without precision weaknesses like minotaurs.

Edited by CaptainChortles: 12/23/2014 3:31:30 AMThe problem with the stock model for PvP (not so much PvE) is that there are other guns that do its job. For instance the For the People with Perfect Balance has 100% Stability and is virtually recoilless, with almost as much damage per magazine and a RoF between Silimar's Wrath and Shadow Price. It's probably worth keeping a stock model if you like max RPM ARs, though.
