I like the Bullfrog, but generally only when using Striker due to its extra built-in stability. Remember that you can roll the attribute onto the gun for stability (forgot the name), but you can't add stability or accuracy mods without it losing its benefits.
The Showstopper is good with most builds, but awesome for 3 builds in particular:
1. Use it with Striker to quickly build stacks. Just remember that it can lose stacks just as quickly if you miss your target. The extra stability built into striker helps here too.
2. Tactician - also to build stacks. I use it like a SMG as far as range goes when using with Tac since it doesn't have the missed shot penalty like striker does. So, you can hit 30 or 60 stacks in a hurry from a ways a way. Also, with Tac you don't lose those stacks when exiting combat so you can build up to 60 stacks, then go start a boss fight or Legendary mission.
3. Lonestar - Due to its instant reload and fast firing when the Lonestar capstone ability proc's, it really is solid. I like to use Showstopper and a Big Al in my 1 and 2 slots and roll +12 shotgun and +12 LMG on my gloves. It has the same (IIRC) already built into Lonestar so with those two weapon types, it is a solid build.
Speaking of Lonestar, I giggle like a school girl sometimes using it. Picture this, you are firing your Big Al at its base 1k RPM. Your Lonestar proc's which gives you a +30% (IIRC) RPM boost. Then, someone in your group hits Tac Link for a 50% RPM boost (again, these are from memory so if I remember correctly). So, for the Lonestar proc, 1000 x 30% yield and extra +300 rpm. For the 13 seconds or so of Tac Link on the Big AL, 1000 x 50% = +500 rpm. The Division uses additive figures instead of multiplicative so that gives you an extra 800rpm for a brief period. So, Big Al in that situation is firing at 1,800 RPM. That'll bring a smile to your face. If you are lucky and get several Lonestar proc's in a row, the fun continues without reloading.
