    In addition to Myon's reply regarding mobility, because of the way ammo works, you will lose out on some potency if you go 1-2-3-1-2-3 compared to 1-2-1-3-2-1

    1-2-3-1-2-3 goes like this:
    Split: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 40 expected potency on Slug Shot (we call this +40 instead of +80 because without ammo it's expected to proc 50% of the time anyway)
    Slug: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 50 expected potency on Clean Shot (we accounted for the "combo" bonus in Split shot, and are now accounting for "combo" bonus on Clean shot)
    Clean: 150 base + 20 ammo bonus
    Split: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 40 expected potency on Slug Shot
    Slug: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 50 expected potency on Clean Shot
    Clean: 150 base + 20 ammo bonus
    ====
    Total 1160


    If you do 1-2-1-3-2-1 instead,
    Split: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 40 expected potency on Slug Shot
    Slug: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 50 expected potency on Clean Shot
    Split: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 40 expected potency on Slug Shot
    Clean: 150 base + 20 ammo bonus
    Slug: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 50 expected potency on Clean Shot
    Split: 140 base + 20 ammo bonus + 40 expected potency on Slug Shot
    ====
    Total 1190, 30 potency more than 1-2-3-1-2-3


    (edit: original maths used 100 and 100 as base potencies for Slug Shot and Clean Shot; updated to include the 50% bonus)
