More people use Magnums though: It’s all about range comparison. The knifing energy weapons (Magnum, Taran, and now Ember) have that perfect range that the Thunder and Punishers can’t effectively match due to bullet spread; out of the line of fire of DBs. In order to surpass the energy weapons, Thunders and Punishers must get into the bloody 150m-point blank range, where they can shred everything around them up but are vulnerable to ambushing Orkan/Piñata missiles and other Thunders and Punishers. Having that extra bit of range means that your bot has a greater chance to survive a bit longer. So in my opinion, if the Thunder and Ember were the same price, more people would opt for purchasing the Ember due to its extra effective range.
