We aren't talking about the load time, we are talking how quick they can unload 7 SC missiles, its just outrageous. I cannot, by any measure, do that much damage in that short span of time with a commando, it just isn't happening. Be it assault spec, or gunnery. I have a vanguard as well, and I know I can murder and melt people twice as fast with tactics spec now. I appreciate them making it more.....effective, but the shoulder cannon is just outrageous. As for 10 meters, no, you can upgrade it to 15 meters, and by the time you turn to hightail it out of there , all te missiles will be launched, combined with other attacks and you will most likely be dead.
