Whats the damage cap on a Nym's Slug-thrower?
I'm asking here cause I know some of you Jedi hunters must use one... They do Kinetic so it comes in handy for those pesky PSG wearing Jedi. I picked up a Nym's Slug-thrower with 347-695 dam and 169 acid damage with a 83 SAC. If I can 8% slice it that would make the max damage 750 + 169 acid = 919. With a dam pup that gun would really do some hurting to any Jedi stupid enough to wear a PSG.
If I can slice it to 750 I might even ADK it... That would be an all-around solid gun... Far from UbEr *but* solid in PvE and VERY good for Jedi in PSG. I've checked out some other kinetic weapons and I dont think any of them had the potential to go over 900s w/o a pup (no rifles or carbine anyhow.... I know HC scatters can). Also, with the 169 acid damage that would up the min damage of the gun to over 500!
Some newbie sold it to me for 10k LoL I saw Nym's Slug-Throwers with those kind of stats going for over 500k.
Opinions?

Try and get the Trandoshan Hall Sweeper Carbine. Kinetic + Cold Dmg. I used it against PSG and it worked great. I never sliced mine. But it would get even better.
And just interjecting my personal opinion here...damage pups are no good versus a full temp jedi. Speed kills. (Low SAC don't hurt.)

i believe 695 may be the damage cap on the nyms... I had one that was at 4% dam slice, and 695 max dam, with slice up to 8% it made no difference, even after a server reset.
Oh yeah..... check out needler carbine... not sure how good the damage is though.

Thanks for the replies guys 
NosraNitsua, I'll look into that Trandoshan Hall Sweeper Carbine. I thought I had looked through all the carbines and rifles under the Vendor Galaxtic baazar search and came up with no good Kinetic options for carbine or rifles *but* I might have missed the Trandoshan Carbine. Thnaks for the heads up!
Cesare, Very cool tool my friend. Going to bookmark it. However, it doesnt tell me the damage cap on the Slug-Thrower.
Algren_Earth-Stormer, That would be as I fear 
The slug-thrower would be an awesome weapon if I can get it to a 750 max slice... W/o a pup that baby should do over 500dps modified damage in my hands.... Not the absolute best but I'm pretty sure it is higher then any other kinetic carbine or rifle I looked at. I know the needler carbine wasnt all that hot...Least none of the ones I looked at... For sh*ts andgigglesI'll seewhat the hard cap on that one is... Maybe I wasnt looking at the "right" ones.

I guess I'll see if anyone on the smuggler forums knows... But if anyone here reading this knows for sure what it is let me know!

Whats the damage cap on a Nym's Slug-thrower?
Cant seem to find this one in the other threads I've read that list hard-caps. Anyone know? I just bought a slug-thrower with 347-695 base damage with 169 acid. If I can slice that badboy to 750 max (8% slice) I could have a carbine that could hit for 919 kinetic which is VERY useful for a BH to have when fighting Jedi with PSGs.
Not all Nym's Carbines are the same and the one I have was 1max pts less then the best on my server... I bought this one from a newbie for only 10k but ones like this go for over 500k... I dont want to waste a slice on it if the damage is near cap already.
If anyone could help I would appreciate it!

Czerkas can get over 900 damage.
Looks like the Czerkas are capped at 931. Dont have the min damage figure on it though... The thing that is really attracting me to the Nym's Slug-Thrower right now is the 169 acid damage that effectively means the minimum damage is 516 unsliced or 543 sliced...
