Thread: FWG5 Vs DX
and the components dont match the damage type
DX2is a acid damage weapon yet it uses 4 power handlers and a blaster pistol barrel
Scatter pistol is an acid damage weapon that uses projectile barrel, *1* power handler and a feed mechanism.
w/o even using enhancers a scatter pistol is around 120-188/1.8 AP1 -38 @0m +40@ 7m 18/53/19 hams
w/o using enhancers a DX2 is104-161/2.4 26% wound 35% wound AP1 +21 @0m -7 @8m 23/41/15 hams
dx2 would require FIVE krayt tissues to see a comon result of 104-191/2.1 26% wound (on some servers like chilastra this could cost you 500k just in tissues)
scatter just needs ONE krayt tissue and gets a bonus of using a nym feeder (+20 damage average) so you get a result like
120-238/1.5 35% wound
the DX2 should be more inline w/ the scatter or the scatter should be more in line with the dx2, if your shooting streams of acid the range should atleast be similar between the two. And four power handlers to get less damage than a scatter? 'Cmon theres no role playing explanation to that.
DX2 seems to be the only weapon where you have to run right up on them into melee and beat them over the head with it to do the damage to them you want to.
