Fair enough I'm still in Silver Tier at the moment but I actually kind of like the GAU on my Boa (currently level 5 with a level 7 Thunder and level 6 GAU).

I find it gives me some options at the 3-500m range where the Thunder's just laughable. I'm not talking serious damage but it's still the sort of thing that makes an enemy notice they're being shot at. If you come across another Knife-Fighter and start shooting them at that 450m with only the GAU then they'll often panic at all the bullets and try and rush you while firing on all cylinders. By the time they close to around 250m their Thunder is down to firing reloads while yours is still fresh, meaning you can unload into them way faster than they can return fire at exactly the range when your weapons actually become devastating.
