I'm not using Pulse Rifle anymore. Only slug shotgun, or flamer. If it indeed can do that, then why no xeno cries about this combo? I've never saw any little bit of complain about this and from my experience with BC on SG I assumed it's for those CoD players who like to only do raw damage. I'm not that kind of a grunt. Support and area denial.
Because it's not as obvious as BC Buckshot? Because by the time they found out it's BC M41 they're already dead from 2 bursts? Because you aren't usually on Discord and you don't see the conversation about BC M41 or decked out M41 in general?
Also, those damage is from pre-mutator. But mutations don't add that much into the damage calc (thanks to how short games currently are) and you can supplement with 1 or 2 extra bursts to guarantee the crit.
T3s usually cap at Mature, and 1 of the 2 mutations they spend on will be Speed. Rav will probably take Slash damage, Prae will take phero, Boiler will take Wider Gas, Crusher may take health or armor but it's only a 1 extra burst difference anyway.
T2s and T1s are the only xeno that can afford to grab both health+armor mutations, and T1s will still fall down to crit to 2 BC AP bursts without Warding anyway (because it was already a waste of damage before to crit them and Runners even with Warding can only take like 1 BC AP burst before they fall)
So the real difference here is with T2s, and again, it's not that much of a difference. One (for most T2s) or 2 (for Warriors) extra bursts are all it takes to put them down to crit.
AND ALL OF THIS IS JUST YOU. I'M NOT EVEN COUNTING THE EXTRA DUDE ON THE SIDE WITH ANOTHER BC M41 SHOOTING SHIT WITH YOU.
