I recently rediscovered an old pistol that is almost never used...the DL 44. A master WS friend of mine made me some DL 44's that had about 2.0 speed and maxed out around 190 damage with a low HAM cost and +45 to hit at 8 meters. Popped on a speed and damage powerup and this gun has just been amazing. Granted it doesn't have AP but when my specials cost almost nothing HAM-wise I've found it to be highly useful. Also it just looks amazing with a muzzle and scope added to it (this will only appear for the wielder of the weapon unless it's displayed on a wall apparently and the guns must be hand crafted for these to work). Anyway...I've found this to be a good weapon these days. Even had a Krayt version made...1.7 speed at 220 max damage.


Anyway...what pistols do you all like? The Republic Blaster is king with DX 2 coming up close but the DPS on these DL 44's aren't bad either.

I think the weapons smiths have to imrpove. A friend of mine /artisan) made some very good CDEF pistols and with a decent slice (By me) they came to 44-80 max damage and 3.3 speed. Usually they are 17-35 4.5


Better ask more from you weapon dealer. They should experiment more and use better resources. There is to much crap around that fills the public vendors.

And WS's think they can pull off thousands with that BS.....i saw this guy charge freeking 40k for a flamethrower that did no more than 1000 dmg....this is bad and i'm not even a commando.

O btw my weapon preferences are FWG5, (can't say republic blaster, i'm a big time Imperial), DX2, Scatter (allthough i haven't used one in ages) and last but certainly not least the Tangle Pistol.

I usually prefer my Kray FWG5. I'll use that until it burns up and then I'll use my other one. When I want to conserve my FWG5 I use my Republic Blaster 90-290 dmg (non-Krayt, with slice). I've got 4 more of the same Republic Blasters (still unsliced). Then my DX2 and DL44 (depends on what mood I'm in). I carry my Tangle and SR Combat around in non-combat situations because I think they look cool (don't use them much unless the mob is easy and I know I can kill it with such inferior weapons). I just got the cert for Launcher Pistol this weekend and have been using that a lot just so I can get Flamethrower Spec. I (Flame Single!). The Launcher is fun though because it causes explosions and smoke and sparks and things. It's cool, and I can basically shoot it at the cap speed.


Speaking of Flamethrowers, I just bought one with around 500-1068 max damage, 4.6 speed. I wasn't really planning on using much of the Commando prof (really just wanted the Launcher Pistol cert) but the appeal of the FT sucked me in!

One thing I just recently found out about is that the WS can add things like scopes, muzzles, and stocks onto weapons for:


1) a unique look to the weapon


2) added to hit bonus, damage, etc.


It's basically like a permenant powerup added to the weapon but the weapon must be crafted by hand. I also got some carbines with stocks and scopes and muzzles added onto them...not only does it create some nice damage spread and to hit bonuses but the guns look like real guns...just really got me into the game again.

I have always loved the metal dl44. Mine with no powerups is 71 - 248 speed 1.4. Its not great against armored mobs or ones with hi energy resistance but against everything else it rocks nothing like spamming last ditch once per second for 1500 damage per shot.

I just wish other players could see how cool it looks with a scope and advanced barrel. To them its just a regular old metal dll44 but i know better.

krayt dl-44's arent that bad. i wouldnt take them into a pvp fight though, which is sad since it was han solo's gun of choice. i figured they would've made the most recognizeable weapon from star wars a bit more powerful.
