Talk:Sirius SX12/@comment-108.84.77.227-20170329191318

Sirius SX12 is for players who want large magazine size, but other than a lower vertical recoil, Eridani is simply better during the actual act of firing.

Sirius has a flat 0.4 horizontal recoil versus the 0.3 minimum and 0.392 maximum of the Eridani. Eridani has better horizontal recoil mainly due to the minimum recoil. Both weapons have the same horizontal tolerance. The Eridani also has the same 0.05 bloom, but does higher damage.

Eridani does better damage at longer distances. Both weapons have 4 different major tiers or levels of damage, or shots-to-kill. Let's compare with SPA, the Eridani being the former, and the Sirius the latter:

Eridani does 143 damage before 15m versus the 125 dmg before 10m of the Sirius.

125 dmg before 23m versus 112 dmg before 21m.

112 dmg before 30m versus 100 dmg before 28m.

100 dmg before 35m versus 91 dmg before 37m.

The most shots required will be the same as their minimum damage which is 91 dmg after 40m for the Eridani and 84 dng after 42m for the Sirius.

The Eridani has the advantage in damage output, damage range, and accuracy over the Sirius. Because of this, the Sirius is more of closer ranged SMG mainly due to the horizontal recoil. Ideally both weapons are best used within their first and second tier of damage, because of TTK, but the Sirius is going to have bigger issue missing shots at longer ranges when comparing both weapons with a forward grip. For a person with poor aim and management of cone of fire, and recoil, Sirius is recommended, for a player gun skills, Eridani may be preferred.
