the fulmin is the most op weapon in the game atm. its not nb1 in dps but not far from it.
its primary fire is like the old arca plasmor with its old innate punchthrough but with more damage.
with this weapon you can clear entire rooms with a few shots. its secondary fire has 100% precision, isn't affected that much from precision loss so you can put mods that lower its precision for damage without worrying much and has enough dps to overshadow most automatic crit rifle in the game.
you don't even have to reload the weapon as it recharge ammo by itself. so you can go melee while the gun is recharging or take the secondary out and always dealing damage witohut interuption.

its primary fire is also commpetely silent.

it is also a crit weapon with decent status chance.

primary deals impact and electric damage.
secondary deals puncture and electric damage.
(so well you have an anti corpus and anti grineer in one weapon by just switching fire mode.
you can aslo easily go for corrosive damage since its main damage is electric)

in conclusion:
do you want a silent weapon with innate punchthrough, aoe without self damage, good crit with some status, recharging itself, 100% accuracy (with low accuracy drop from bonus/malus mods) and better dps than most other weapons in the game?
the blueprint is in the market for a few credit. and it is mr8. enjoy :)

It's a pretty powerful gun, almost like cheating if it weren't for other powerful guns like it

It's worth investing stuff into, but with it being so OP you may not want to buy any particularly expensive rivens unless you're willing to accept a lower disposition in the future.

i hvnt dabbled in rivens yet, i play mostly with my valkyr and she reks everything that runs at her but i start to feel that in higher lvl missions her claws r not enough, in defense for example when enemys stay behind cover etc, so i look for a good gun, i tried the prisma grinlok but either idk how to mod it or it sux that it has split dmg.

I have 7 forma on my fulmin (a bit over the top, I know), no riven for it as I ain't willing to pay for one and RNGesus didn't bless me yet, but I absolutely love the weapon. I don't do 1-2 hour runs so I don't know how it handles 120-130+ enemies but 100-110 is no issue whatsoever.

It's a fantastic gun. Totally worth it even without riven.

I'm a bit skeptical about the Fulmin myself, though I have yet to get it to the capacity where I can fill all the slots with mods. I want to like it, but some of my other weapons feel like they will be better no matter what I do to the Fulmin. And Fulmin Rivens are expensive and the disposition is low, so I'm probably going to have to do without one. Right now the Fulmin sits as my only silenced weapon, good for blowing up cameras in spy missions through walls. And not much else.

My friend is quite frustrated with their own underperforming Fulmin, and theirs hits harder than mine.

Fulmin is MUCH better than either of those for any content over about level 60-70.´Once you hit 90-100, the Fulmin is in a completely different league to them.

Yes, Fulmin is worth forma, but I'd say it isn't worth buying a riven, as I wholly suspect a nerf will be coming in some form in the coming months/year (a lot of content dropping right now that might keep them "too busy" to deal with it). Same goes with the Acceltra, worth the forma, but probably going to get nerfed, especially if the numbers of people using these two guns continues to rise as it looks to be.
