I was told by a veteran that it does waste 3 ammos with burst mag, but you still spit out 9 projectiles (which is crazy advantage in my opinion)... the enemy receives all of those 9 projectiles.

I'm a PvP'er and I think the burst mag is useful even when hitting 6k EGO players. ZeroAccuracy actually puts burst mag on his Blast Rifle. And that is enough indication for me that burst mag for PvP is the way to go. He is a monster in PvP.

BUT for PvE - he also said that CAPACITY mag is the way to go to get that sustained DPS.

The Blast rifle already fires 3 bullets per ammo wasted.

i dont get what the problem is here.

My blast rifle with a burst mag will shoot 9 bullets in about same time it would have shot 3 without.

This is a huge advantage.

And you can argue about that all you want, but the fact is that fire rate is very good for blast rifles cause you will do more damage in a shorter timespan.
Offcourse its not good for DPS who wants sustained damage in PVP anyways, what you want is as high burst as possible, then switch targets.

Get a blast rifle with magt3 roll and if you want mag mastery and its not a problem at all to support a burst mag.
I was doing just fine in pvp with my 50mag burst modded blast rifle, now i have a 73mag one and its even better.

I have tested the fire rate with a stop watch.It is exactlythe same.

So I should put a burst mag into my rad rolling thunder flashy carbine?

No... its a waste of time

Yes, but with a BR the "projectiles" become 9.

Thanks for giving it a test buddy. Though, I think the best way to measure is not by stopwatch but with a recording software where you can mark the "start and finish" (of firing and losing bullets) precisely by mili seconds. I think it'd be really hard for using a manual stopwatch for this purpose >.<

I'm not really sure where carbine fits in here lol

If you can kill faster with it at PvP, I'd use one though.
