When they were 150s they were better than 140s in that they were Lightweight and had a higher rate of fire, but now they're just worse in every way than the original 140s. I mean, look at Thorn, it starts damage falloff at 30m, which is terrible in this meta, while Ace can reach over 36.

Just use sunshot. Still 150, still slays. Not recommended without catalyst.
