@StillTheRexYo  - I think a single Thunder has always been more powerful than a single Gust, but just barely. When they first introduced the Gust, a Gust-Stalker could just about hold it's own against a Thunder-Carnage and a Gust-Pursuer was noticably more effective. The Storm was even more more over-powered compared to the Thunder.

I think it was primarily due to having a tighter spread, so even though the Gust and Storm had less damage, more of that damage hit the target.

I think nerfing them into balance with the rest of the game is good, but not if there are over powered weapons still floating around out there. That is the worst strategy about what Pixonic keeps doing. They introduce an over powered weapon on purpose, and leave it that way for a year, then nerf it so they can introduce another over powered weapon.

It's the reason I only play once a month or so instead of every day and I never bother upgrading anything anymore.
