I do beleive that the EE3 is the fastest base carbine in the game correct? Also I've got one that powered up (unsliced) is at 1.9 Base attack speed. Combined with 75+ carbine speed mods just how fast will this carbine shoot?

I believe at master you will hit the speed cap at 2.5 speed, so anything below that would be a waste really.

Nothing can shoot faster than 1.0 , so even weapons that have below that do not(I've seen 0.8 pistols).

I thought the speed cap was at 1.0 for rifle/carbine - but after next patch it won't be

What he meant was that the speed mods we get by mastering Carbineer lowers the speed on a weapon to the capped speed of 1 second. So a weapon with the speed of 2.4 used by a master shots at 1, while at a novice marksman lvl the weapon would shot at 2.4. So if the lvl is 2.4 then any weapon that goes below that is just a waste because they won't shot lower then 1 second speed cap.

Maybe, but slower shots like CripplingShot will be enhanced by a faster baseline speed, even at master.

I dont think this is true.... is it?? Anyway, I have a nice 1 sec Short Carb that kicks some nice ass in duels.

They didnt drop pistols speed cap, for everyone its still 1.0. They threw the idea out there of lowering pistols to .5 but also said it might cause some serious client-server issues, mainly the guns would be shooting just too fast. I think if they lowered pistols to .5 they better reduce their damage by a ton or else pistols would become like miniguns(they are already fast enough).

And yeah I think having a very fast carbine would help with slow specials like crippling shot, but at around 2.5 speed your normal shots and faster specials shoot at about 1.0 speed.

I have a Krayt Laser Carbine that is sliced to a 2.0 speed...with a speed power-up (which I don't use obviously), it's 1.4...fastest I've seen. I go Damage Power-up to get it to 47-429 instead. But when I want to impress someone with a virtual machine-gun effect, it's funny.

Judge, out...

ok...this may seem REALLY messed up...but my carbine was shooting faster than every second. I had it sliced (down to 1.8) and got a freaggin good power up (reduced speed by .9) so I was firing at .9. and I was pretty sure it was firing under a second, given that I was 1-2-0-1 in carbineer, and a master marksmen. I was pulling of legshot3 so fast, it blew my mind....so if they did indeed lower the speed cap, then it was for all weapons.

It's not true that at 2.4 you're capped. I'm master and at 1.7, i fire the crippling shot faster than i canwith a 2.4 and it can make a big difference in PvP. Of course, using full auto or legshot, i don't notice any difference.

I was under the impression they dropped the minimum speed of pistols down to half a second.

Of course with a speed under 2.0 you kill yourself in THREE seconds rather than the usual ten...

Sad, so sad...
