Pistoleer Archive

I see alot of people saying that the DX2 is our only (broken) AP weapon.

I could swearI saw a SR combat pistol with AP1. Anyone confirm?

Yes it is AR 1 and no it doesn't work. Only reason people say that only the dx2 is because they've never had a sr combat pistol before, most people stick to their fwg5 until they get a dx2 and don't realize the sr combat is AR 1. I have one of every pistol in my inventory because as a scout when i examine a creature i like to be able to use the approproate weapon against it's weaknesses.

its limited to a max range of 48 meters, also ive yet to see one crafted with decent stats. but it is ap1 yes

Yes it is. But alot of people don't use the tippman98 ..err SR combat pistol because its energy based. If i want to use a crappy AR1 wep, i'll use my crappyacid based AR1 wep.-DP

I dunno what you all are smokin but AP weapons work. Compare damage numbers over the heads of the mobs to the numbers in your combat window.

We've been through this with the DX2 though, if it's a acid-vulnerable mob, there's no extra damage (as an AP1 weapon would get).

However, against an acid-resistant mob, the DX2 acts like an AP1 weapon.

From my experiences, yes the SR combat pistol has AP1 on the same things that the DX2 does. However, the higher HAM costs on the SR make the DX2 look lightweight and handy in comparison. The SR itself looks nifty, though.

I've used a prototype SR pistol and it is good. I was doing as much damage with that pistol as i was doing with my Scout blaster and the SR pistol was half the strength.

My scout is 78-172 and the SR pistol was only 60-100 i believe and was slow. I believe with work the SR pistol could be very good.

During PvM i was looking at damage ranging from 200-500 with double tap.

I've been using a slice SR lately as my general purpose gun. I think it's sliced up to 140 or so max damage, and I put speed power-ups on it that bring it down to 2.0-2.2. It's a good gun versus yard trash mobs and some dark blues. However, I use my DX2 or FWG5 for any really difficult fights. Basically, I'm using the SR to keep downthe wear-and-tear on my other sliced pistols. Plus, it looks pretty nifty with a barrel extension and not as many people are carrying them around, so there is a "uniqueness" factor to it as well.
