So evidently the Red Specter's impact is not what it says it is. Will Bungie be updating The Red Specter so that it actually reflects what the stats say?
It's not exactly incorrect. I've gotten 3 different versions of this to test & compare with others which helped me understand the issue.
The reason it's not outputting the expected damage is because "Range" has to do with it's "damage fall-off." Is what it is.
Compare it's range stat & you'll see what I mean. This is why people claim it's like monte carlo, because it does less impact. But the range makes it more effective. Therefore giving it that perspective when using it. Love the gun, just hard to drop the ideal perks. A lot don't even get the gun.
