ok


i started out as a scout on tat, so i havea pistole, i soon pick up artisan and baught a ore sorvayor(SP?) and i soon had enough stuff to make a new gun.


i could make a carbine or a rifle, now, i was still a total neeb so i had no idea what the defrench was.


so i look at them both and i then picked the carbine because i thiught it looked cool and i have been using a carbine ever sence

Boy,

cmere.....let uncle rezael show you...Boy....
You need to look at the big picture...sure your using a carbine now...but who knows what you'll be using in a week...wow that t21 looks nice...or that rocket launcher looks cool...it doesnt matter what your using now...all that matters is what your using when your maxed...and i believe having a complete arsenal availible is your best bet in stayin alive...pure carbineers pure pistoleers, and pure rifleman are not built for survival..but a master marksman w/ a touch here, a dab here, and a rocket launcher is going to be one scary opponent...understand boy?
good.
now go be something usefull like a doctor...we need more doctors...

LoL, it's the weapon of choice for stormtroopers, the whole galaxy over. Those white armor sure look neat.

Carbines just kinda stuck out from the others to me. And for some reason it seemed to have a more badass appeal to it. And that showed through in that the names (Marauder, Mercenary, etc) are all now very bad ass. So yeah, I seem cooler to myself for it. The only thing that sucks is finding a weaponsmith who makes good carbines, well they make them, just they're aren't many of them seeing as how pistols and rifles sell better.

well, its simple: i saw they had accuracy while moving, and i didn't see that on the pistoleer/rifleman trees.


also, while i was busy mastering marksman, i just liked the FEEL of the carbine better than pistol or rifle.

at first i wanted to be a commando cause i thought they would be busting out these HUGE guns(like carrying miniguns and stuff lol)



but then i saw carbineer and i thought they would be like the masters of mid-range combat, its only logical considering rifles are like for sniping and pistols are for close combat

I started out designing my character to be a CM and thought that a carbine would come in handy being a mid-ranged weapon allowing me to launch ranged stims or area stims.

When I first heard about the branches I thought carbines sounded the coolest. Carbines are pretty bad ass, the assaulters weapon. Suits the aggresive user and has good stopping power.


But I heard before I got the game that pistols and rifles were better so I tried all weapon branches, first pistol, then rifle. Then I tried the carbine and I felt I was home


The carbine suited me the best. The rifle was hard to use cause of the 3x damage... i was getting cooked when monsters came close.

I went for carbine due to the specials, I really liked the idea of been able to shoot off AOE's. I started out with the CDEF pistols and more a bit more up in pistols before getting a decent carbine though - and I have to say I'm glad I don't have to run like pistol users do anymore, hehe.


I must admit that carbines have their problems, but it is the gun for me so I'm hoping it will get some first aid eventually.


As for rifles... the sniper thing never was for me and probably never will be

Well, as a noob, what I really wanted to be what a rifleman, so I went into a weapons shop looking for a laser rifle, but the guy didn't have any laser rifles, only carbines, so I bought one. The rest, as they say, is history...

I chose carbine because it just looked right in the hands of my Mon Calamari character.
