Someone who has gone further up the rifleman tree than me more recently will need to answer that one.Unless you're killing meatlumps and gubburs, the dxr-6b is much better than the laser, as the dxr has medium armour piercing and does acid damage. It also has great accuracy and a generally higher minimum damage and attack speed (i.e. higher damage per second).
The T21 will bust a hole in anything with heavy or lower armour that's not 100% resistant to energy damage, the weapon of choice for Krayt/nightsister elder hunts etc.
With comp armour having (on average) 40% resists to stun and psg's (personal shield generators) having about 45+% to stun, the jawa is almost useless in pvp these days.
Better to go for a T21 or dxr. You can ignore pretty much every other rifle in the game in PvP (unless you know the other guy has crap comp and no PSG).
definatly go for t21 in pvp because of 50%+ more damage because of heavey armor peircing and with master rifleman like even with a 7.0 speed t21 you cap on speed
Just wondered out of the following rifles which one you would choose?
ALR:
478 - 1170, 88 sac and 2.65 speed.
or
HLR:
466 - 1119, 82 sac and 2.57 speed.
Both unsliced and un-pup'd.
Im gonna say the ALR is the better of the 2 even though it does have slightly higher sac.
Oh and my temp is MRM/MBH
