I have a 43 VG and a 35 Commando. The Commando has always felt like significantly more DPS. I don't see it when PVPing that much though, particularly if I take the time out from close range on the VG to pop Mortar Volley a few times to pad the damage count. I find it hard to reconcile between literally continuous Grav Rounds doing >2k each and no ammo problems - literally easy mode big DPS - and the piano complexity of the VG getting out DPS at close range across shock strike, pulse and HIB. I just cant see how the DOT effect of the VG can make up the raw hitting power of the Commando.
