Difference between this and modular equipment is usually boiled down to "can you attach many of the same items to the equipment?" for modular equipment the answer is almost always a resounding now: no guns with 3 scopes or laser sights each improving upon the last, while with socketables this might be true (though they're unlikely to be called scopes and laser sights).
