OK guys, I have a question. I know this is something that is talked about a lot, but I was just wanting to know if there is something that I am missing.


Why is it that my HAM costs go down almost as fast as the damage I am doing on the target. I think it is actually about 1/3. That is crazy. I have a rifle whose HAM costs are lower than a pistol that I have but the HAM cost is nearly double.


Is there like a strength stat or stamina that I can raise to help lower the cost or is it just a given that I am always going to suck like this?

Carbines base HAM costs are about double a pistols. And Carbine specials HAM cost multipliers are about double that of pistols, so we get 4x the cost of pistols, but not much more damage and slower anyway.

The HAM listed on well made carbines can be explained by the AR values of the guns. THe higher level AR 1 pistol has comperable HAM to a highe level carbine.


The problem with HAM costs are the modifiers, go to swgcenter.com to compare. You will quicky see upon comparison why our specials cost 2-2.5x as much as pistoleer specials do.
