Ok right now I am Mpistoleer/Bh pistols/rouge.
I would like to do Pistoleer 2443/bh pistols/rouge/tka 4000
But what I need to know is if all my pistols will still speed cap?
I will have 103 speed, +3 for an attachment I have for a total of 105. Is that enough? or should I go 1444?
Tell me what yall think.

100 is cap for anything speed wise
so yes you would be capped
and the dude asking what guns you can use, all but DE-10 (m pistoleer) and LP (nov commando)
and i would do the pistoleer 1444 (rather have +6 melee more then dodge)

try this

its a weapon speed calculator. you put in your weapon stats, and your personal speed, and it spits out your average damage with each of the abilitys and shots you can have. Good for deciding what weapon is best

Speed calculations are screwy. its a percentage, but there is a speed cap of 1 second, so at some point no amount of speed will matter. a Master Pistoleer (Speed 74) will have his speed reduced by 74%, so a speed 4.0 will shoot at 1.0. if you do the math, you see a nice little curve happening were at 90% speed, a 10 second gun is shooting at the cap, and anything over that is a waste.
In all practicle applications, at the Master Pistoleer level, the speed of a pistol no longer maters, because almost every weapon you can use will fire at the speed cap.
Basicly, the only reason to take the BH pistol line at all is for the accuracy, and the use of the scatter pistol.

They want to fire their specials at the cap too. All special moves come with a delay modifier that increases the wait time. For example stoppingshot has a x4 delay mod. Which means that a master pistoleer would require a pistol of speed 0.25 to fire at the 1sec cap, and even then he'd actually be off by a small fraction.
Since you won't have access to a DE-10 I recommend you aim for a speed of 91+, that speed caps all moves on all pistols up to 2.7 which covers all crafted pistols with the exception of the DE-10 which you're not certed for anyway.

no matter what specials you use they will cap out at between 90-100
