I hereby confess to using less than optimal ammo choices for achievements. Still get the job done though, just a little slower.

It has to be done, it is not often the achievements tally with the situations the games provide:)

Sammy B. T.:
It certainly does something. Long ago frogger would run his junkerwith a  front merc using burst for the amazing disable power. However the merc was a little more versatile then.

Nowadays generally the merc is best for the dps not the disable.  However burst is definitely viable.

Serenum:
It's true that you mostly won't hit more than 1 component with a burst mercury, but at the same time you will have an easier time hitting the one you are aiming for. Still, I think Charged is the superior choice, especially in the hands of a skilled gunner.

Crafeksterty:
Again, i believe its the rate of fire that allows for a better or more accurate shots.
The charged is better, it just doesnt allow for another on time anticipated shot because its slower.

Arturo Sanchez:
charged forever.

If I see lesmok or burst on my mercs I'm like learn to shoot.

lesmok might be easier to shoot but if I wanted a perfectly straight shot I'd use an artemis. If I wanted components I'd used charged because even if I miss, I hit the hull and that hull breaks really quickly with charged.

Missing a component with burst just feels like I wasted a shot. A charged shot? Not so much.
