Whats actually better? 1 mroe ammo but faster charge time and less dmg OR 1 less ammo with slower charge and dmg frmo 41 to 44? Honestly cant decide seems like both are good.

Less charge time = more DPS, but less total DMG. Bigger mag = more chances to proc Veist Stinger if LFR has it, can lead to additional TT/FFTC proc and more DPS since less reloads.

The numbers might work out to say that the higher damage from the longer charge time weapon will deal more damage overall when completely expending the weapon's magazine and reserves, compared to an otherwise identical copy of the weapon with more ammo and a faster charge time.

However many boss damage phases are timed, and that's important. The faster charging weapon might get off 10 shots where the slower one only manages 8, and those two extra shots mean more overall damage even if each individual shot was a little weaker. Like Ixamesh says, it is higher DPS, and when damage windows are timed, that's what you want.

Then as also said, Veist Stinger can make a huge amount of difference on Veist linears like Taipan-4FR.

hmm thanks, yeah was thinking its very situational that 1 is "better"

When it matters, DPS is always the benchmark. There is no ammo efficiency check in any encounter, given how ammo drops are either based on RNG, or can be negated by forcing ammo drops with specific builds.

The only place it may matter is in PvP, where meeting specific damage thresholds is the difference between one or two shots, which matters because of how tight the ammo economy is in PvP.
