Obviously crafted pistols are best. However, I always see people saying that the DL44 XTandDE-10for non-certification specific pistols. I am curious as to whyFWG5 is left out. I am thinking it may be the best. Once major reason is most players use Recon armor, jedi inate, or TK inate. Some use battle but very few use assault. the FWG5 will hit against Recon armor much better that the DL44 or DE-10 and quivalent in all other armor except assault. Is there something that makes the FWG5 automactially inferrior?

Where have you been reading that? The FW FWG5 is bar far the best pistol available, and we have been saying this for months.

energy weapons for pistoleers are special use weapons, krayts for example, have much higher kinetic resistance than energy, but aside from that.......

I carry 3 pistols in my inventory:


FW FWG5 (primary choice)

DL44XT (back up)

Trandoshan Supressor Pistol (back up and just way too cool not to use)


Most of the other pistols I used pre-CU either converted to crap or converted well but not close to my FWG or DL44. Sad thing is, the FWG and DL44 were nowhere near awesome pre-CU and they converted to some fairly sick pistols.


I just had 3 Gorax enhanced FW FWG5s made and they are in my inventory as specialty weapons (Thanks to Aften for making them for me *hugs*) Only pistol I wish I could use and not lose my current tempate is the Intimidator, far superior to the Silencer stat-wise .


FW FWGs are vastly superior to standard FWGs for the accuracy bonuses on it and drop in some really sick Gorax shards.... mmmmm, killer pistol

Thanks. I just didn't see the FWG5 showing. I was looking more in teh smuggler and CM boards.


Thanks for the advice. I wanted to pick one pistol, because you pretty much have to ADK it if you want to use PUP's all the time.

CM's do like their Disruptors and Smugglers like their Renegades... neither are kinetic and neither compare to a DL44XT.


They just have novelty value.

I personaly love the DE-10... This is howI figure which weapon is best... Forget the DPS, becase they average the min/max damage, assuming you will use standard attack (yeah, right!)... But most attacks use the maximum damage. So, I just divide maximum damage by the speed, and bingo! You find out which one is best! Though you must take into account SAC, which I heard the FGW5 was high in.

Roger thatand I'd prefer to use a non-certed weapon anyway, as I have two characters that wield pistols.
