Torso shot is better.

As to which does more damage, well, it's like this.

Stopping shot does 5x damage but hits random HAM

Torso shot does 3x damage on health only, + DOT.

So for stopping shot to "stop" someone the average will be doing about 1/2 of the total 5x damage on health, or a multiplier of about 2.5x. So 3.0 > x 2.5x, so torso shot drops health the fastest. Of course, add in the DOT from torso shot which also causes wounds, and it's even better.

So, Torso shot >> stopping shot.

Torsoshot will kill faster but Stopping Shot is definately more damaging.

well, I'm reshaping my char to BH pistol 4 and master pistoleer. I have novice pistoleer and novice BH now -- my plan is to go BH pistol 4 first, and what I'm wanting to know is if it's worth having stopping shot if I already have the BH moves, in which case I might climb a different branch of pistoleer first.

hmm..they are both pretty powerful. Going by the HAM expense and delay times, I would choose an AT-ST

I use both. With stop shot getting more use. I do couple of stop shots and then start foucusing on a certain pool. If mind is the lowest, eye shot. If health is the lowest, torso. If action, more stop shots.
