It's a mathematical impossibility. He would need a 1,035 damage pistol.
That kind of damage couldn't even be achieved if he were firing on a non-mission lair with no defenders left (there is asubstantial damage bonus to these)

It's the AOE Bug, if a bunch of corpses are around the target the AOE targets the corpses and adds their damage done to the singel target.

Sure, there's a way.
Target something that's vulnerable, say...target a borgle life sapper, with an FWG5.
Tap /stoppingshot3 times in a row.
About 1500 damage each, bam, you just hit for 4500 total. Way over 3k. =)

Using stopping shot yesterday on a Tusken, I could've sworn I did just over 3000 damage. I use a sliced Republic Blaster. I often do 1500-2000 with stopping shot. 3000+ seems a bit steep, but given the game's less-than-perfect code, I wouldn't consider it to be impossible. I didn't notice any commando or TKA toons around, either.

Depends on if you are talking about the text combat spam in a chat window, or the the floating numbers. I see 3k hits in my combat spam very rarely using my new RB that is 417 max dam with powerup, was mroe common with my old one that just broke (452max w/ p/up)...spamming fanshot at 1sec delay, you get alot of chances to see those numbers. Dont recall seeing any numbers that high in the floaties though, except on lair...but most of the time I cant read those numbers anyhow. PBA2 has a higher damage mod, so would hit a bit harder.
Given a weapon with AP1 (RB), a mob with AR0 and 0% resist (energy)...with Stopping shot (highest pistoleer damage mod), you only need a pistol with 341 max dam to hit 3k. That would be a very rare absolute max hit though....and that would just be in the chat window.
The formula for figuring the max number you will see from a weapon is Max_Dam * 1.5 * Special_Dam_Mod * 1.25^(AP)...assuming no AR or resists.
Mods (as stolen from FAQ a while back) and my max hit with primary weapon (above mentioned 417dam RB):
Dmg
Mod Max Hit
Fan Shot 4 3127
Stopping Shot 4.7 3674
Double Tap 2.82189
BodyShot3 2.5 1954

Melee1 2.9 2267
Melee2 4.1 3205

Disarm2 2.7 2111

Mod Max Hit
Fan Shot 4 3127
Stopping Shot 4.7 3674
Double Tap 2.82189
BodyShot3 2.5 1954
BodyShot2 2.11641
Melee1 2.9 2267
Melee2 4.1 3205
Disarm1 2 1563
Disarm2 2.7 2111

PntBlnkSingle2 2.9 2267
MultiTarget 4.2 3283

Oh yah, a 454 max dam RB would theoretically be able to hit 4k, 568 would hit 5k, and 681 would hit 6k. All with Stopping shot, on AR0 mob.
The above table is from my spreadsheet that lists all my weapons with stats, and DPS/Max hits/delays for each. Wont guarantee it is error free, but I have corrected all the ones I have found so far.
