I'm having a hard time once again distinguishing which weapon is better. What do you guys think? And does the piercing attack count towards my melee as well?

A note here is that I'm mostly a melee fighter. I think the first one would be better but it doesn't seem to deal as much consistent damage as the second one. Also, my crossbow skill is way higher than firearms, but I don't have much of a problem with leveling up firearms for this.
