I put off building up these weapons due to a lot of people saying they were trash, but while building them up with only part of this build installed and no Arcane they were one-shotting ESO enemies easy. IDK if these got buffed or just a lot of people didn't know how to mod or what, but they are a solid secondary that I would compare to a [Sporelacer] kitgun, but pretty much all status instead of all crit.

Three downsides to this weapon are the painfully slow reload (which we can help with Stunning Speed and Merciless arcane), almost non-existent crit chance, and the fact you will be knocking yourself down a LOT if you don't run Primed Sure Footed or a frame that has immunity to self-stagger/KD since there isn't a pistol version of [Cautious Shot] at this time.
