Gunnery for Dummies v1.3.5
Erheller:
Heatsink on light flak vs. greased on light flak
Heatsink: More damage per clip (697.2 damage per clip with heatsink versus 588 for greased)
Greased: Much faster rate of fire (1.5 seconds to empty greased clip, 2.8 seconds to empty heatsink clip
My calculated theoretical rates of fire don't seem to coincide with actual rates of fire (at 16.67 rounds per second, the flamer should take 18 seconds to empty a clip, but it's actually closer to 20 seconds), but greased still has a distinct advantage over heatsink in this regard.

Heatsink pros:
More damage per clip (630 damage per clip vs 588 damage per clip)
Lower arming time
Greased pros:
Faster theoretical rate of fire (1.5 seconds to empty clip vs 2.8 seconds to empty clip)
Greater range

Heatsink is -17% projectile speed, and greased is -20%. Heatsink has greater range.

...I used the wiki as the source of the projectile speed decrease information... Someone needs to update the wiki.
Erheller:
Oh, I completely missed that heatsink got changed a couple patches ago.
Right now the tooltip says that it's -17% damage, -20% projectile speed (and some other stats that haven't changed). Assuming that's right, light flak will have 697.2 damage per clip with heatsink versus 588 for greased. But greased can empty its clip much faster than heatsink. Range and arming time *should* be the same between the two.

Yeah, the wiki has some really inconsistent information. Wilson's Notes apparently take their stats from the game files themselves and are self-updating, according to awkm.
N-Sunderland:
Whoops, yeah. I got damage and speed mixed up. Neeeever mind.
Still, they have equal projectile speed.
