Hi, all day I've been trying to find this info, which I've looked through all the FAQ's and couldn't find. I'm in dire need of some kind of blast radius weapon, and all my template can afford is novice commando (which came at a price mind you)...
I bought myself a nice Correllian Destroyer, seeing as it said it was a "Radius: 6"... I have come to the conclusion from using it, and from other posts that it has no AOE. I've been looking now at the Launcher Pistol. Does it have an AOE? There is no "radius" rating on it, so initialy I thought it wasn't what I was looking for, but now it seems it doesn't really mean much.
DOES the launcher pistol have some sort of AOE? I saw a video of a master commando/ master smuggler team up with a jedi and defeat 5 guys using good crowd control tactics... I downloaded it, and I've watched it like 50 times! I said "THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO!!!" So, if I can't get any AOE attacks (using concussion shot) with novice commando, then it looks like I've just ****ed up my template for no good reason. Any help would be great!

Launcher Pistol is a grind weapon, pretty much. You're going to quickly move off of that one. If you want to use Commando weapons effectively in PvP, you're going to need more than Novice Commando.

But does it have an AOE? I need a weapon with an AOE so I can do Area-Concussion shots. I don't care about damage.
And I'm really wondering, is the stat on the Corellian Destroyer "Radius: 6" a bug? Because I've tried it, and it doesn't have an AOE (and the forums have said that also).
I'd test this out, but friggin' Bria won't let me log on.

Well does stuff only supposed to have an AOE if it says "Radius: something"? If so, then the CD is bugged... And I'm pretty sure there is none on the launcher pistol if so... Meaning I just did a huge waste of time switching up my template with novice commando in it.

launcher pistol has the same 6m aoe as all the other aoe (not cone) weapons

The Radius: 6 m is a bug for a few weapons, as seemingly AoE is not just a radius but a cone for our weapons as well.
Anyways, only the Corellian Destroyer, Rocket Launcher, Heavy Acid Rifle, Heavy Particle Beam Cannon (it is supposed to pierce anything in a straight line, but it doesn't), post-patch Proton Rifle, and I believe the Void...are all non-AoE. Also note that just one of these weapons is master level, while the rest are clustered around CL14-Cl40ish (Void is CL40 I think...not entirely positive, with the looted weapons).
That means, the Acid Stream Launcher, Lightning Beam Cannon, grenades, both flamers, Launcher Pistol, and (i think) the blackscale acid launcher are all AoE.

I was acid-soaking concussion shot aoe with a blackscale earlier today, so I can confirm it is. I didn;t even bother with a LP this time around on the grind, so I am not sure if it is aoe or not.

Possitive confirmation, The Void is single target, no KD, and the BSASL is aoe, and has a mighty nice min damage.

Thanks, I really appreciate your help guys. I went all out on that Corellian Destroyer... Got it a speed slice an everything! I was so proud of it, and realized it had no AOE, I felt like **** because novice commando was all I could get my template into. Thanks guys!
