Yeah, higher HAM costs, and longer delay. No extra damage though.
I used BurstShot1 the entire time. Very rarely used CrippleShot, and only used ScatterShot2 when they were almost dead and I needed a few points of damage in health or mind...
BurstShot2 I tried a couple of times and deemed it worse than BurstShot1.
Awesome gun, congrats!

Someone want to explain PvP damage mitigation to this guy?

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! On Eclipse, some guy looted a laser from a Jedi Knight NPC and stats were as follows:
Damage - 188-623
Speed - 1.7
Mind you remember that this carbine was looted, so it hasn't been sliced, neither was a poerup equipped. I'd say with a 30% damage slice, and a 33% max damage powerup, this carbine is pushing 1050+ max damage. Just thought I would share and let you know that your carbine is obsolete compared to this one.

I have a laser carbine with a much higher maximum. But the beauty of this weapon is the minimum damage. It really makes damage mitigation irrelevant. I was fighting a pistoleer yesterday, and my lowest hit using burstblast2 was 570. When I was fighting a BH, it was a 560. The highest it goes is around 800. If I can get two scatter shots in, it's basically the end (1000 damage to mind).
The whole point of this being the "best carbine ever" was in PvP with the new mitiagion mods. Any serious carbine user has some nasty max damage stuff, but that gets hurt because of the damage range.
We were talking about PvP, and you jump in with a PvE carbine. What's your point?
Its a great carbine, but not the "Best Carbine...Ever".
Look at this.

cool gun, mitigation proof
That gorath gun is identical to mine - I got a speed slice instead of a damage slice though =(. But yeah, same stats, same wound damage, etc. Far out.
