If it's actually a Needler style of weapon it would fire flechettes, so it'd be Kinetic, NOT electric. Silly gooses.
Which is why the devs would make it Energy! Remember the Spraystick? Sand People's Rifles? The devs have a track record of spitting in the eye of Common Sense. For them, it's as rare as RIS and Mandalorian Armor is to us players.
E5
Sawn-off Shotgun type gun
Anyone want to venture guesses on the new damage types? I would guess that the needler is electric damage. The E5 is either heat or energy. I'm guessing that the "sawn-off shotgun" is the underslung carbine? I has the same kind of texture as the DE-10 and berzerker so I'd guess it's either just a decorative gun like the berzerker and heat damage or a master certed AP2 energy with a higher min damage than the laser. Does anyone have any links to that dart carbine? I would guess a dart carbine would do stun damage, since you usually use darts to incapacitate somebody without hurting them. I also think that the dart carbine has it's cert somewhere in BH, it sounds more like a BH type gadget than a weapon used by an assault trooper.
