Oh, I can definitely answer your question. yes, it was DPS test based off of max payload against bosses. The part I disagree with you is actually using a rocket launcher for mobs, as it is impractical concerning other weapon options. LMG's to be specific, not only do they have a wider range of fire being that they have the versatility of being a machine gun, the ammo capacity with the right ones allow you to clear more mobs than any rocket launcher can. *there are many variables to take into account such as clusters of enemies as well, which arguably rocket launchers can dispense of faster depending on movement. Concerning LMGs you have to have the right one. Field Scout may be looked down upon in Machine guns because of the raid heavy ammo boots, but field scout being the broken perk that it is increases both ammo reserves and the magazine size, that is it's main power point. Because with a Deviant Gravity A, Jolder's Hammer, The Swarm and Against All odds these effectively increase the weapons ammo by nearly 3x in most cases. Meaning that these weapons are the absolute best heavy weapon for clearing out Mobs, and they aren't even exotic. Plus, as a side note these weapons have more sustained DPS (more damage overall) than even Gjallarhorn which is most effective at burst DPS (most damage at a short time). But field scout is not all you need to make an effective LMG, these weapons also suffer from a range penalty, but this is hardly an issue in most cases. Sadly, Thunderlord does not fit among the other because even though it has the most potential Burst DPS of any LMG, it suffers a massive stability penalty. Thunderlord was an attempt at a Burst DPS LMG So when you say that Gjallarhorn is superior at killing bosses, that is pretty much the final word in the matter as that is solely the rocket launcher's purpose is to deal the most damage in the shortest amount of time. Pretty much all Rocket Launchers are effective in this means and was there purpose when created and used for. Now, you can also make the point that Titans, which have the unique item ability of acquiring more heavy ammo drops via Ruin Wings, this would put Rocket Launcehrs at the top of their game, the best at Burst and Sustained DPS. This would be correct, but Ruin wings also works with LMG's, and with the right perks a single heavy ammo drop will fill up an entire reserve of LMG ammo. Meaning the effect of Ruin WIngs is better utilized for LMGs, making them also the superior choice in taking out mobs than a rocket launcher.
