Used together, these Orokin pistols feed off each other, inflicting greater damage with an enhanced status chance for inducing elemental effects on targets.

Here's a Rivenless [Akbronco Prime] build for the masses because I like dumb things. Here's how it works:
1) Galvanized Shot for Status Chance and Damage per Status on kill. This replaces Hornet Strike, so if you can't do Arbitrations, use that instead.
2) Galvanized Diffusion for Multishot and scaling Multishot. This replaces Barrel Diffusion, so if you can't do Arbitrations, use that instead.
3) Lethal Torrent for Fire Rate and Multishot. This comes from Nightmare missions, so you'll get this eventually.
4) Stunning Speed for Reload Speed and Status Chance. This also comes from Nightmare missions, so you'll get this too as you progress.
5) Damzav-Vati for Viral Damage. You get this from Father in the Necralisk on Deimos. It's a fair bit of grind, but worth for this build.
6) Jolt for Electric Damage and Status Chance. You can only get this from Baro Kiteer, so pick it up if you don't have it when he shows up with it.
7) Pistol Pestilence for Toxin Damage and Status Chance. Corrupted Vor in the Void drops this. as we already get Viral from another mod, we use this to get Corrosive damage with [Jolt].
8) Scorch for Heat Damage and Status Chance. This comes from Spy Missions(?) last time I checked, maybe it was low level Spy missions? Anyway, Heat is a good damage type and status effect now, so let's abuse it for more damage.
9) Suppress for Silent weapon. This slot is free to exchange for whatever, but if it costs 9 or more capacity, you will need a second forma.
10) Secondary Merciless for Raw Damage and some extra stats. These come from Steel Path, so get some friends or buckle up. You can swap this out for Secondary Dexterity if you want a more melee focused build, but I like using the Steamboat Shotguns on their own.
With this build at full power you can absolutely [Shred] some poor Demolyst to pieces firing 27 pellets with 50% chance to proc a status, deal both Viral AND Corrosive damage, and be able to reload in 1.4 seconds if you miss or [Mag] dump too hard. Not meta breaking, but lots of fun.
Enjoy!
