This weapon does stun dmg, but has pretty low dmg and is relatively slow. I was wondering how good this pistol is in PvP, would u reccomend using it or a different pistol? Thx alot

it used to be good, when no one had stun armor, now you need to save for a good geo blaster to do anything in PvP.

Get a crafted geo (95% of looted geos are crappy 102 max damage 2.7 speed ones that are not even as good as a good tangle) made by your local master weaponsmith, the crafted non-krayted geos(Im assuming these are not krayted) on my server seem to have maxdamage around 210-230 with a speed of 2.5 unsliced. If you get a krayted geo the stats will of course increase depending on what krayt tissue was used in the crafting of the gun.
If you can get a geo after slice that has around 300 damage or maybe really fastyour doing good.

Short answer: No
Long Answer:
It's biggest issue is the one you already gave....extremely low max damage. Even with a damage slice and Pup it is only as strong as a mediocre geo.

If you get a decent one, they can be good. I couldn't afford a Geo until recently, but I had a run-in with a buffed commando who seemed to have decent stun resistance and some brandy in him. I knocked him down and then picked through his helmet in about fifteen shots. It mght not have been as impressive as those ludicrous Jawa rifles or Geonosian pistols, but it did the job.

A well made Tangle with a powerup is probably better than anything else available to you until you get a Geo.

A speed slice is not a bad thing unless you have BH pistols or a lot of speedtapes....
check out your dps on www.killyourpc.org/swg
in caseyou got smuggler you might even gain from putting in a speed/damage pup for last ditching (I was happy I got a speedslice on my first geo, putting it at 1.4s)

alright thx alot ppl for your help. I purchased a geo blaster 2day, 2.6 speed 226 max dmg 1138/1138 cond. It costs me 650k, but well worth it considering i beat a TKM in a duel for the first time ever. I would have been extremely satisfied except i got a speed slice. At first when i saw the 35% when i sliced i got very excited, but when i saw that it was speed i was a litte disappointed. Anyways, thx for your help.
