My new favorite gun (Destiny)

I've got a SR with Explosive/Firefly, and I find that Explosive Rounds get in the way of Firefly triggering. I've switched Explosive off, and find I can trigger Firefly much more consistently. Sorta dulls the buzz. Anyone else confirm?

Yup, if the enemy dies from the base damage of the shot, firefly will trigger (so low level mobs during patrol are usually full of explosions). If the enemy dies from the additional damage of the explosive round, then it doesn't trigger. Usually I keep explosive rounds on unless I'm going into a high level activity, and then I'll switch to either +2 agility or the armor piercing rounds

I still like to keep explosive rounds activated against high level enemies because of the small amount of splash damage they do. It might take me a couple more shots to down each enemy, but I can keep them all reeling in the meantime.
