Im amazed how many of you are just clueless as to how a pistol should be sliced or constructed. Please dont post any advice when you're just guessing. Critical doesnt work on any shots unless it's built in to the shot....so why would he even think of slicing a pistol for critical??? Someone just mentioned slicing to 2.0 and thats fast enough...thats absolutely absurd! Read in the pistol forums a bit guys! You should have your pistol constructed to 2.0 speed and slice ot to the cap, which is 1.73 for every pistol. A difference of .o5 in pistol speed will make a rather large difference in dps, so a pistol as slow as this one at 2.25 speed is, in essence almost worthless. I am not guessing any of this info I have read and tested it as I can vouch NONE of you have done the same. Stop listening to noob rumors and get out there and test for yourself. A great base pistol is going to be around 1.96 spd and have no other than 65 sac while being close to that pistols particular dmg cap. This way the pistol will slice to the speed cap (1.73) have max sac and be almost dmg capped. Understand? I dont mean to insult anyone here, but geez at least know SOMETHING before posting.... BadgerSmaker the correspondent from the pistoleer forum is a great, knowledgeable guy and I recommend you all go there and introduce yourselves.

With the new energy power cells that drop off of NPC marks...it's quite easy to cap both SAC and damage on the same scatter pistol. Wish they'd remove the caps...I'd like to see what I could do. (last one I made was listed as 42 SAC...but due to the cap it pulled it back up to the 65.

Why is your damage type energy and the original poster's damage type kinetic?

It's hard for me to say exactly. I just bought this scatter on Intrepid for 6.5 million so that one doesn't really seem worth the money to me. Your best bet is to get some Power Cells and Scopes and have one custom crafted.

I have an FGW5 that is 330 base/505 modded dps, with 56 sac after the pup. I paid 500k for it.

Each weapon is different...consult the weaponsmith boards if you want specific info on a certain weapon.

It was made using looted scopes which are currently bugged. If used to craft a Kinetic Weapon the weapon will become Energy. If used to craft an energy weapon it will make it a blast weapon that only does 1 damage per shot. I have been told that a CSR can fix this for me but have yet to get in contact with one.

Anyone care to clicky?
The 15 Pistol Accuracy on it, coupled with the fact that my (now - I was mid-temp change when I took the SS) modified speed is .95 is fun.

For the people poo-poing that gun, saying you can get better or higher damage, let me point out a few things.
That gun is damage capped.
That gun is one sac over minumum.
That gun's speed and accuracy are very, very good.
The only way you'll get a better gun is from a better scope, which right now will convert a scatter pistol to energy and an energy-based pistol of any sort to blast damage (which doesn't work).
That gun is easily worth 7 million, at least until more BH-only drops make it to market.
