The S&S Crux ( The one with the cross spread pattern) has an interesting glitch, When the weapon says x2 on the item card, it does the damage of x3, and if it has x3, it provides the damage of x4. At least from my experience, an S&S Crus would be the best explosive weapon close to an SMG, due to it's usually higher-than-most-shotties fire rate. Its all up to you and the actual level and damge of each individual gun. There is no for-sure when talking about explosive..
