it's a very situational choice, in a wide open map the laser can start shooting from the start and keep shooting the whole game, whereas spirals take time to close to 600m. A pure math comparison needs to factor in that the laser's shoot while reloading feature too. It is much easier to do the full 2k/10sec w the laser since you can line up shots at any time vs having to wait for the cool down then line up a shot. I'd bet on the snow map lasers would do more dmg and keep you out of harms way better, but the city or ruins the spiral would be way better.
