Against Death Stalkers? I would say W2C hands down, they have pretty high mechanical DR/DT.
Now that we can craft W2C and it only takes 20 chemistry to do so, I honestly don't see much point in making special bullets, W2C and JHP are almost always superior. I guess a few builds with an unique gimmick might get some use out of them (like bleed builds using 7.62 micro-shrapnel). I admittedly never used 8.6 incendiary, if the burning debuff also causes the enemy to run around in panic they might be pretty good. I guess they might also be decent vs. Rathound King, seeing as he takes 100% more heat damage.
Nope, just flat electricity damage bonus.
The incendiaries do trigger fear, but the chance is not very high at 35% so you'll want to use a muzzle brake and full auto for 9 round bursts to ensure a proc.
Latest changes also suggest you can keep fire debuffs going by adding more incendiary damage, so you can keep enemies feared and away from aphobia for a long time if you keep hitting them with fire damage.
And yeah I always thought the electrical bullets were a little weak, don't see why they wouldn't have a 10% chance to stun or something, just enough to almost guarantee a stun per 9 round burst.
