Copperhead legendary mod reduces damage output significantly and consumes 3x the ammo.
The legendary mod makes the gun shoot 3 bullets at once in a fan pattern, so to compensate it reduces the base damage by around 30% per shot as to keep the weapon 'balanced'. However the calculations are done in such a matter that the reduced base damage of the weapon is split between the 3 shots fired at once, reducing damage output.
Without the mod attached, the gun shoots 1x bullet x 12 base damage x 720rpm = 8640 DPM (damage per minute)
With the mod attached, the gun shoots 3x bullet x 3.5 damage x 720rpm = 7560 DPM while consuming 3x the ammo.
