Of every bill on this ladder, this one misleads most at first glance. The main resource reads as a handful of HQM, because the two burst modules, the pipe and the body are counted as is. Unfold them and the HQM grows many times over, most of it inside the modules. But that deeper view prices parts nobody crafts: the gun, the modules and the semi automatic body are all marked not researchable, so there is no blueprint to learn here.
The real decision is fire or recycle. Up close the burst is strong, and it takes the same pistol rounds as the M92. But the ordinary recycler always returns one burst module, and that module keeps working on a semi-automatic rifle long after the pistol would have broken.
Tip
If your group already runs a SAR with burst, keep the Prototype as a sidearm and fire it. If not, the module is the better trade.
