Piston Vs Sweeper?

    Hey guys, just got a quick question.

    Is there any difference in the per-shot damage from the Sweeper and Piston?

    The piston shows it has a faster fire rate, and faster reload, but has the same damage stat (the bars) as the sweeper. The only other difference is that the sweeper has 8 shots standard, were the Piston has only 6.

    If the damage is the same on both i'd prolly get the piston, but if the Sweeper actualy hits harder 'per shot'.. even with the slower fire rate i'd prolly get it instead.

    Has anyone tried both of them yet?
