I've got a pre nerf krayt FWG5, can't remember the min damage, but the MAX is 450 without a powerup. Paid a nice penny for it though. Oh yeah and it's 1 speed.

Yeah, it's sliced and no pwerup.

you guys are going by some flawed information. when the actual pistols were nerfed, what happened was they used to take BOTH power handlers AND feeder mechanisms, allowing multple enhancers to be used. they split them down so taht scattesr only take power handlers,and launcher pistols and fwg5's only take feeder mechanisms now. on my server the absolute best non krayt prenerf fwg5's were about 1.7 speed and 212 max damage. I had about 6 or 7 crates, and i still have about 3 left, i usualy give them to people as gifts, because for all practical purposes fwg5's are completely and utterly useless for anything short of actualy grinding the profession on heat vuln mobs (which dont give very good xp). the reason fwg5's were considered ok for pvp back in the day was because armor resists were about half of what they are now, buffs were random, and you couldcraft multiple enhancers into the pistolsthem to get fairly impressive max damage stats out of them. that was also before mitigation and defences were implemented, which meant that they did a significantly larger amount of damage overall then they do now, whereas mit 3 reduces 60% of the range mbetween min and max damage currently, which is the single most important factor as to why krayt pistols are nowhere near as strong in pvp as tehy used to be (krayt tissues dont enhance min damage).
