Social, well, for one thing, the slice was only 21%.
But I prefer the Damage mod to the Speed mod because of the hideous HAM cost I endure. With the damage higher instead of the speed faster, I can cast more damage per HAM cost. Bottom line, in a large PvP, that's what matters. And outside of the large PvP situation, getting a speed slice instead of a damage slice would have turned my T-21 into an E-11 with a really crappy HAM cost.

Social, that's one of the factors I calculate damage by, especially for Riflemen because of our unhealable HAM costs. If I were firing at a rate of 4.2 I would be out of HAM very quickly.
As it is, if I swap between guns often enough, with my 900 Willpower I can USUALLY prevent myself from getting self-capped. Unless I am in a sustained fight (and, of course, any PvP conflict).
As for the multiple gun things, I can SORT OF understand the need for more than one, once in a while. I can even handle the idea that we might need a T-21 and another gun of some kind. Some of the time. But in reality, how many Snipers carry four guns around with them.
Oh, wait, that's my problem. Duh. In reality. Psssshhhhh. None of that in SWG.
