Then you're getting your weapons confused, young Butcher

So in the end means you need a higher Hit rate than 60% to be more effective. BTW the max accuracy in the matches does not exceed the 50% normally

1) It's magazine, not clip. Clips load bullets into a magazine, an example being the M1 Garand, which has an internal magazine.
2) A burst DPS weapon is not intended to have sustained DPS. It's a matter of concept. The point of the Firestorm is to kill single targets fast. Bear in mind that accuracy differs at various ranges as well.

A hit rate of 60% is not difficult with sights and medium range.

I am not a native English speaker, but I believe you understood what I meant.

2) A burst DPS weapon is not intended to have sustained DPS. It's a matter of concept. The point of the Firestorm is to kill single targets fast. Bear in mind that accuracy differs at various ranges as well.

Exactly what I am saying, that means the fact that the weapon is by design made to kill fast and not sustained DPS then the balance of CYLO FS being stronger when you are very accurate and in a small time, compared to another weapon is correct. Nevertheless, along the rate of fire being hindered by its designed feature, comes the self damage hindering along. Which means you are in high disadvantage by using this weapon unless you are able to have over 60% accuracy in combat, and never get to the limit of overheat. Which is 1 bullet more and it hits you back like the opponent with good aim hit. This weapon did not have the self damage before and actually I recall the heated bullets had increased damage (according to its name this was correct).

And this is compared only with the CYLO AS which is the most similar, I suppose that with the other assault weapons there is perhaps some more disadvantageous situations.

Consider the 'end of the magazine' the point where it first overheats. The overheat section is not there to be used, it's just to punish bad usage and balance the reward (higher base damage) with a little risk.
