http://www.gatcity.com/Surfer/screenShot0692.jpg
Here is my so called uber 35 302 krayt FW in action.. I wore only Composite helm .. Opponent decked out in composite, notice when he reaches 800 composite blocks 500 of it! at one point i only hit him for 92!! with fan shot.. and my helm is only 20% cuz i use Nighsister shards to lower encumbrance..
In conclusion you will only kill a crappy pvper who doesnt wear amor and has no medic skill with a FWg5, In fact FWg5 is crappy weapon and will be doubly so once next patch goes in and armorsmiths can add heat layers to ubese
now here is damage that JUST a Mk1 shield gen wih5% resistscan protect from (not wearin body armor) and again opponent in composite (and maybe shield gen on this one)

In conclusion... **edit**ty Pvpers wear no armor and you should rape them with FW but people who know where there doing.. they will own you as you scratch them with your uber krayt
Most people just look at the damage and think it's godly, without looking at its inability to pierce armor.
The SR Combat pistol and the tangle pistol are the most underrated weapons in the game. The speed issue with them is solved with powerups and doesn't matter at all when you hit master. Composite armor is vulnerable to stun damage, so the tangle pistol is your best friend in PVP against it. The SR has Armor piercing and is your best friend against most of the nightsisters on Dathomir.
On the subject of nightsisters, there is one type called the nightsister protector that is 100% resistant to all attacks except kinetic. Guess what, the lowly striker pistol is your best friend in that situation!. My point is that you shouldn't shun the other pistols in the game, max dmg is not the only thing that counts.
