The fire rate is the thing that makes that character so great. The damage percentage isn't that important. It's very easy to proc various item effects due to high nailgun firerate, and it's low accuracy is easily negated by the size of bosses and other more important enemies. Small trash enemies usually die to AoE item effects, such as Will-O'-The-Wisp, Ukulele, etc. In my last run I was able to hold on for 130 minutes with that character, and most of the work was done by two items I noted above in combination with Sentient Meat Hook, Gasoline and some other effects such as crit and bleed on hit. It was absolutely destroying everything due to high firerate, items were procing like crazy.

In conclusion, it's not the damage that makes that character shine, it's definitely the firerate. And the further you go through levels, the more impact it will have over mere damage percentage.
