I'm finding it difficult to justify the loss of a free +10 Stability on guns for a "5-10% increase" on flinch. Is this flinch increase noticeable? Can anyone here say that they've honestly won a gunfight because of the increased flinch put out by HC rounds, or is it a placebo?
This is only about PvP btw. In PvE, I prefer HC rounds because they consistently stunlock and stagger enemies.

I always favor stability. Anti-flinch mods perform much better, although I don't have math as backup. I've also found elemental capacitor rolls to be better now than they ever were. You can reach crazy 100 stability, handling, reload depending on your subclass. Depending on your roll, coupled with elemental capacitor you can have a weapon with 100 stability + high handling = duel winning combination. Crafted weapons with enhanced dynamic sway reduction and tap the trigger are also great.
