Thread: Fastest Pistol.. ever?
I think I might have just encountered the fastest pistol ever made and sliced.. Someone on my server made a scout with krayt dragon tissue, thus making it around a 70-130 damage with a 1.3 speed and same HAM costs as a normal scout.. After my slice, it became a 0.9.
I kid you not. A 0.9 speed scout. Anyone seen anything remotely this fast post slice?

I read on the swordsman forum (2hand swords get pretty good speeds of 1.8) there is a hard cap on attack period of 1 second. so (to-hit percentage) *(weapon-speed) must always be greater than 1. I dont think you will notice a difference unless you no pistol speed stats. But it looks impressive and you can probably sell it for a ton of credits.

The speed cap is at 1.0 sure. But whenyou use a special they are usually 2x 3x 4x pistol speed modifiers. So having a gun of 1.5 spd is only a waste if you never use specials. Who doesn't use specials??
I notice agood amount of speed diff between using body shotand other specials with my 1.3spd fwg and my 2.0spd fwg.
True, at the end of the game when someone has all the +100 speed modifiers, then yeah-- a Carbineer can shoot just as fast as a pistoleer can.
However, his ham cost is going to be exorbant compared to yours and he'll literally kill himself (unless he's master medic!) in the process of using said specials.
