So I finally mastered smuggler this weekend. Pulled out my old FW5I was using back before publish 8. It's already sliced on the old system, speed as I recall and can't be sliced anymore because of it. But I noticed something I hadn't noticed before once I equiped it. It's speed is 1.5 and my DPS is well over 400. I've looked for "new" guns and they are no where close to stats like this. Do I have a bug working in my favor (for once) or am I just not looking in the right places?
Buddy of mine has a similar deal with him, He's CL 22 and can use a CL50 gun because when he quit he had it equipped and it still was when he logged back in. So he can equip it off and on all day it even says CL 50, yet he can use it.

Well... dps is kind of just an estimate, it doesn't actually specify how much damage you're doing. What're the min/max damages and the SAC on it? It's probably very possible that the dps calculation is just hosed with your ancient weapon... but like I said, I don't think that actually means you're dealing that kind of damage.

Waaaay back in the day, there were pre-nerf FWG5's, and those things hit like a ton of bricks. Odds are that yours is a pre-nerf.
Enjoy your gun!

Yeah, that sounds like a prenerf. My WS and I made like 100 krayt fwg5 before they changed that component. Sold the speed slices, kept the damage. Unfortunately, he can make better now with the BH items and some other loot drops, but oh well. It's nice to have relics.

Remember this?
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Just one creature was stirring, and clicking the mouse.
The stimpacks were hung from the backpacks with care,
Almost to master! Just need one more square!
The grinders kept grinding, ignoring their beds,
While visions of holocrons danced in their heads.
And Mamma in her fleshwrap and I in my composite
Had just settled down after a quick terminal deposit.
When up on the message boards came such a chatter
I flew to the site to see what was the matter.
Away into Windows I stole with a flash,
To read the new nerf, cost of 15 bucks cash.
The whiners already had cursed their new gun,
‘It’s nerfed beyond reason! This game is no fun!’
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But old Saint C3PO full of nerf cheer.
The SOE staff had their nerf bats at ready,
But the servers as always were not quite so steady.
More rapid than eagles the nerf lists they came,
And there was the update, and each nerf by name.
No med droids! No dancers! No Bounties or Armors!
No clothing! No pets and no lewt for lewt farmers!
By the end of the list, by the end of the post,
It was hard to tell who had been nerfed quite the most.
I quickly logged on and loaded my ranger,
But his items were gone and his stats were in danger.
My backpack was empty, my hides were gone too,
Everything had been nerfed from my helm to my shoe!
I clicked on a link and I wrote out a ticket,
In seconds the staff made it clear I could stick it.
I reported a bug: “This nerf must be a goof”
And suddenly 3PO popped in with a POOF!
“We’ve nerfed the whole game to eliminate cheaters,
(Then he paused and ran back when he warped 50 meters)
We nerfed every Twi’lek and Mon Calamari,
We nerfed every stat and made customers sorry.”
“We made the Krayt Dragons less harmful than smurfs
and then we took care to nerf previous nerfs!
We nerfed Imps out on Bestine and Rebs out on Lok,
We nerfed all the flame guns and now they just smoke.”
"Your once mighty sabers? Now barely can sting.
Bye byehealing and powers! We nerfed everything!”
And as that old dev disappeared out of sight
He cried “15 bucks from all, and to all a nerf night!”
