the most well known weaponsmith on my server just bought some exceptional high velcity feed mechs with +110 max + cant remember min , -.8 speed . if he decides to make a few strikers with them they will be awesome pistols .

Being a Master Pistoleer it has always been hard fighting against MOBs that only really had a weakness with Kinetic damage. I once bought a striker pistol but the stats were underwhelming. With the release of the Gorax I was able to get a Gorax Bone Shard and had a Master Weaponsmith make me a new Striker Pistol with a scope on it. I was also lucky enough to get a damage slice on it.
I now have a Kenitic Damage weapon with
Min damage 102
Max damage 219
Speed 1.8 and
Wound chance of 32.3 %.
Through in a good power up and life is sweet against those Mobs.
So what do you think, are they a better pistol with the Shard?

I have a striker made with some of those spider fangs, its 194 max, speed 1.2, after slice but before powerup. As a master smuggler with only some pistoleer I really need that fast speed.
The biggest problem with this gun is the lack of armor piercing.
So vs say a Nightsister spell weaver that has Medium Armor, and 100% resists to just about everything except kinetic (30%) it goes something like this:
AP0 vs. AR2= -50% & then -50% again.
Then subtract another 30% for the 30% kinetic resist.
So spamming last ditch say for (just example #s) 1000 per shot (per second) its
1000 - 50% = 500 - 50% = 250 - 30% = 175.
Since they have something like 40k ham, it can take quite a while.

Nope. As you said, they are worthless in most cases. I got a "good" one with like 110 max. yea right. Kenetic is definately my week point. Personally I say leave it to the melee folks since thats about all of them get. Just give us a cold weapon, with good stat ability, not like some SR Combat or DL-44 or some crap like that. Then I will be happy, and pistoleers will be the ones with options.

No it uses Projectile Feec Mechanisms, which is why it needs Gorax Shards. You can also get a hold of some nice projectile pistols barrels from the Rebel or Jabba's Themeparks to make the gun even better.

Well the striker is better than sitting there scratching yourself like riflemen do when out Nightsister hunting, unless and elder shows up that is.
