Most shield gens do not protect against acid damage. If you can get a 500 max damage DX2 it will outperform your 600 max damage DE-10 because it goes right past shields

de10 goes through sheilds too because it is AP1. shields only block AP0 things.. like Geos and stun batons.

I have no idea where you are getting this information. As far as I have known, PSG's block anything that it has resistance to regardless of the weapons armor piercing. Maybe you read somewhere that AP1 goes through a shield gen without a damage reduction.. but the resistances DO reduce it from my understanding.
Take two shots of 100 energy damage hitting a PSG.. this is what will go through. This PSG has 25% energy resistance.
AP0: 100 X .75 = 75 for the AP0 penalty of hitting an light rated armor piece. 75 X .75 = 56.3 for the resistances. We have 56.3 getting through a shield.
AP1: 100 X 1 = 100 for AP1 not having ANY penalty of passing through a light rated armor piece. Then factor in the resistances for a total of 100 X .75 = 75 energy damage
Where you get that AP1 weapons aren't hindered by shields blows me away. Care to point out any references?
If my acid pistol shoots a PSG with 0 acid resistance, It will pass right through untouched. A DE-10 striking a PSG with energy resistance will get cut down.

well its pretty easy to find yourself, just get someone to shoot you with a jawa ion with and then without a PSG. the PSG does nothing to it. then do the same for a geo or stun baton. you will notice a difference for the ap0 weapons. I may be wrong but i have read this many places before and have observed it myself.

Yippy! Just the thought makes me giggle like a little school girl.

Back on day of release i used my de-10 3.8 220-467 to cut a rifleman with 80 percent helm down in a matter of 10 shots with eyeshot, that same rifleman equiped his 36% stun helm and i shot him wiht my geo pistol 2.3- 189-470 and i saw no difference geos don't have ap so that was 56 reduction plus mitagation plus the 36% stun helm so heres some math

per 100 damage

de-10

100 *.80 = 20 damage

geo pistol

100*.56 = 56 *.36= 20 damage

so as you see the same 100 damage gets turned into 20 so it is just simply which gun looks cooler and theDe-10 wins every time.

wrong. Jawa's are AP1 and the psg will protect against it. I've seen it in my combat logs.. When someone with a krayt jawa is only doing 60 damage using master head shot, its quite obvious that its doing its job.
