With reloading times factored in, both weapons' DPS is roughly equal, and YCS has the upper hand once you factor in the crit chance And if you think that Holorifle is good with Trigger Discipline, consider YCS/186 with Fast ShotIs it significantly better than a standard gauss rifle anyways?I use the Laser Rifle with all three mods (and the Meltdown perk) as a (much) less powerful YCS/186, with far faster reload times It's not terrible good for picking off animals/people the bigger meanies like super muties and 'claws require the AntiMateriel Rifle, or YCS
