The highest damaging pistoleer gun (besides the uber lewt geo pistol) is the republic blaster. They regularly sell with a max damage of 200 and with a damage slice, you can raise this figure even higher. However,many creatures have energy resist so you might want to pick up a dx2 (best max damage on my server is about 150) and/or a a striker pistol (these are a little weaker but good against kinetic vulnerable creatures i.e. jantas)

I'd say DX2, most creatures have low resists to acid and it is AP1

"I'm tired of just doing a max of 500!"

Well, there's your problem. Pistols are fast, but have low damage. The only problem is, EVERY ranged proffession is fast. Case in point: Master Riflemen can fire at the speed cap with their slowest gun, and they naturally do mroe damage.

Hit the nail on the head.

Yes, Get the DX2 it has AP1 and does acid damage. I find myself using the Geo and this gun the most. My max damage onmine is 277 unsliced and does quite a bit of damage. I have seen higher damage ones but they are rare.

277 max damage on an unsliced, un-powerupped non-enhanced DX2?

That stings, the best we can get un-enhanced is about 100 less than that

I agree with Shorty_McFly. You need every differeng damage type gun in the game to be an effective Pistoleer. I would also make sure if they are AP1 or not. Just line them up in you hotkey and rotate them according to the MOB you are facing.

I'm going up pistoleer right now for the dodge (to complement my fencing) and for the defences. Now I'm going out and hunting with a 190 max feather weight FWG5, and I'm doing crap for damage. Which gun does the most damage I'm tired of just doing a max of 500!

Republic Blaster, Deathwatch DE-10, DX2, SR Combat all have AP1.

-CDEF, DH17, D18, DL44, DL44 Metal, Power5, Scout Blaster all do energy damage with AP0.
Of which, I really only recomend the DH17, its fast and has a tight damage spread. This is good for low level XP.
-Striker Pistol does Kinetic, good for nightsisters.
-Tangle Pistol and Geo Blaster do Stun, most things that you would use these on other than pvp are vuln to stun, so lacking AP1 is negated.
-FWG and Featherweight FWG does heat damage with no AP.
-DX2 does acid, has a tight damage spread and does AP1.
-SR Combat does AP1 and energy damage.
-Republic and Modified republic do energy damage with AP1, huge damage spread.
-Deathwatch DE-10 has a tight damage spread, AP1 and energy damage. This has the potential to be the highest damage gun.

There is also the Scatter (AP1, right damage spread, only 1 tissue to enhance) for bounty hunters and the Launcher (blast damage, no AP, slow) for commandos.

For PvE, I would recomend using a republic, DX2, Striker, FWG and in rare cases possibly a tangle to always be in your inventory.

For PvP, I would recomend a modified republic, featherweight FWG, DX2 and if you can get them a Geo Blaster and Deathwatch DE-10.

There are other things to consider such as how much tissue or feeders a gun takes to be enhancned, if you are a PvPer.
