explosive rounds? why?

I have always been curious as to why people give this perk so much love. I have never personally used it. Why is this perk considered to be so strong? Edit : I know what I'm talking about, firefly and explosive rounds are very different things and I'm talking about explosive rounds (small explosions on target with each bullet).

  • You must be mixing explosive rounds with fire fly.

  • It does two types of damage - impact (the round damage) and area of effect (the target and his buddies standing round him). Each of my characters have a rare 297 scout rifle with explosive rounds and I use it to raid with. Thralls = meh. Nights = little harder but still helps. Witchybitches = shield disappears fairly quickly and is a giggle. Firefly is different. It's the poor relation. You only get the explosion if they die with a headshot. Every round with explosive rounds damages the target and his buddies. Seriously, try it!

  • Explosive rounds have better stopping power and work better on enemies with no critical hit spot or difficult to hit crit spots.

  • No, they don't. Firefly is what you mean and that causes the explosion ;) Explosive rounds is a useless perk

      It's a fun effective perk for mobs. Edit: thought he meant firefly, but I can see it being a less effective version of it. So still fun, why not.
