Is there any sense in which this gun is useful? If so, please tell me, and I will test it.
Edit: I have done some more testing with this gun, including soloing Bronze, Silver, and the first three waves of Gold. I carried both a Carnifex and a Hurricane with Ultralight Materials and a Heat Sink on an Asari Vanguard. To be fair, once I removed the high caliber barrel mod (which apparently increases the kickback, something I didn't know before) and got used to handling it, I did quite a bit better, but it was still being outperformed by the Carnifex in terms of taking out enemies I charged (which would take 1-2 shots versus a short sustained burst from the Hurricane). The Carnifex was also significantly effective against Centurions and Nemesis, since I could line up a quick headshot when they staggered and hit them down in 2-3 shots. Considering that the Carnifex also doubled as a sniper rifle with its handy dandy scope (as opposed to needing to be right up in a staggerred enemy's face, which is what I was doing for most of my test), I find it hard to recommend the hurricane as any more than a nigh weightless ultralight materials extra.
During the test, I only used Stasis once (to check how accurate I was being, e.g. if there really was notably more damage than I was getting if I was 100% sure I was hitting with all the bullets. There wasn't. I'm pretty good at compensating for the kickback), and the rest of the time I was just charging enemies in fairly safe looking spots and picking them off with the pistol or the SMG to compare.
To be completely fair, I did not use any weapon and ammo mods during said test. Perhaps the rapid firing weight would have meant something more with a proper ammo mod. It also should be noted that my Carnifex has a few levels under its belt while the Hurricane is, obviously, level 1.
Anyways, I would be happy to upload a video of said test runs if someone could advise a good, cheap way to get videos of my XBL gameplay up somewhere.
Edit 2: Correction, I just discovered that Ultralight Materials is bugged (taking an ultralight Hurricane boosted my Tactical Cloak cooldown from 6.9 seconds to 15.5) and does not reduce weight. As such, I cannot recommend the Hurricane for anything, ever. I can think of no reason to use it over any other decent close range weapon.
