The Kang Dae and Shocktrain aren't comparable!

Firstly the Kang has a significantly longer range and is a heavy hardpoint. It's meant to be a mid-long range weapon, not a close-range sniper type gun.

Also the reload has been shortened by 60%, whilst the damage has been reduced by 32%, almost half of what it could've been if they kept the range the same. Since 90% of battles occur within 800m, I think that the damage tradeoff (since it now has more DPM) was reasonable.

Plus the Kang is now a cost-effective mid-long range weapon. Sure, the Zeus and Dragoon do more damage, but they have a shorter range and cost more, whilst as a sniper the Nashorn and Trebuchet were better options. As for cost-effective mid-range competitor for the Kang Dae, the Trident is abysmal, and also costs more.
