no one uses it cause they only think of the single shots damage. when really, one of the best combos in the game is a charged plasma pistol shot followed by either a needle rifle, magnum, or DMR shot strait to the head.
its actually better to quickly shoot about five shots to take out their shield instead of using the overcharge, and its faster too
It all depends. The time to pull of a five shot is about the same as landing a pre charged overcharge and switching weapons. However the PP strips shields faster, which, in a team game, means a lot. If I shred your shield, you're instantly vulnerable to a headshot from any of my teammates, while I won't be vulnerable until you've landed four shots.
edit: thought you were talking about the dmr. The individual bolts are too easy to dodge outside of close range. The overcharge is better at longer distances.
