These guns you are talking about kind of suck. My fwg5 is 117-621 dmg with a powerup, 1.4 speed.. Republic blaster 108-540 or so with powerup, 1.0 speed. Find some better ws's

DL 44's are my personal favorite of the pistols for the simple fact that you actually see them used often in the films. The sounds for the firing is kinda off though.


I used one for a really long time myself, and now that I'm taking up WS to replace commando until it gets fixed I think I'm going to have som fun experimenting with them...

My regular DL-44 (with muzzle) is and has been (since like October) one of my favorite guns. It has a nice damage spread, a real betterwound chance than both of my FWG5s, great accuracy mods, and low HAM costs.


I bought it for 5K and since I've been doing the Faction grind lately, I'm either using that or my RB.


I think it's funny when people rant about Han's gun being one of the worst in game and I wonder if they've ever owned one or are just going by when you get the cert...


I cringed when I had to repair it but luckily had a great success and only lost about 10 off the top!

After grabbing Master smuggler, I immediately went and found a Krayt DL-44. Aside from the poor min damage and AP0, I love it to death. It's my primary PvE/Wookie gun now.


spd: 1.5, damage: 79-323 (w/33% damage slice).


It's a shame that other players can't see the scopes/muzzles/stocks. Weak.

If you noticed...in the movies Han's gun has a scope and muzzle on it...I bet it had Krayt tissue too

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.









Stocks are useful but cost too much in HAM fo rthe damage you get out of them. They look cool though.


Some weapons don't have a graphic for these "custom" looks so not all weapons will show the scopes/barrels/stocks.


Most weaponsmiths use every component in a weapon but these components won't show if they are made in a factory run.

You are talking about krayt weapons, pre nerf weapons or double sliced weapons(exploited weapons).


If those weapons are double sliced the stats will be impossible to duplicate. If they are krayt then they can be duplicated if a weaponsmith has fighting skills and can hunt for krayt's or wants to spend everything he makes on krayt tissues. Of course if they are pre nerf the stats can never be duplicated, especially if they are pre nerf exploited weapons.


Personaly I think those are exploited weapons, especially with the speeds so low and damage so high. Power ups make a difference but many of us have been around long enough to know what attributes go together on a power up.

I love my scoped/muzzled metal DL44. 1.4, 57-237. Made with (Exceptional) Krayt tissue, and I got a mid 20s speed slice on it. I need to get it repaired, though... Not looking forward to that.


My backup is a Republic, 1.8, 87-314. I can Fanshot down 4 Nightsister Sentrys before they get to me with that.

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.
