Omniraptor:
Piercing/explosive is a bad combination.

No it does fire and piercing damage, fire can hurt hull pretty good but its no where near as destructive as explosive

Actually, Fire has a 1.3 modifier to hull, while Explosive has a 1.4, so they're actually REALLY close. But Fire also has 1.5 on balloon, and 0.8 on Armor, whereas Explosive has 0.25 Balloon, and 0.3 Armor. So in truth, Fire is actually MORE POWERFUL than Explosive.

That said, Piercing/Explosive =/= harassment. If you wanted a harassment gun, you'd probably want Impact or Flechette, maybe Shatter, as THOSE are the harassment traits. Impact less so though, as it IS the most powerful trait in the game, even if it has some seriously annoying harassment potential in the knockback.

Omniraptor:
Fire/piercing is a bad combination too. It's not a very big issue in practice because few people can shoot the damn thing consistently well. Same as all the other arming-time weapons, they do horrendous damage in exchange for being harder to hit with.
