First, the minimum damage on the T21 is more than 3 times the minimum damage on the laser rifle your are showing. Trust me, if you start playing with rifles, you will hate those 150 damage headshots. That sort of thing gets a person killed.

Second, the T21 has Heavy AP which will do ~195% damage versus an unarmored target, where the laser rifle has Meduim AP which will do ~156% damage versus an unarmored target. With that, the effective damagesare:

Laser rifle: 43-401 --> AR0: 67-627 --> AR1: 54-501  --> AR2: 43-401  --> AR3: 21-200


T21 rifle:159-376--> AR0: 310-734--> AR1: 248-588 --> AR2: 198-470 --> AR3: 159-376

Get it now?

Not many people use the T21 as a main weapon though, just when you really need a quality hit -like a bleed.

Any good rifleman will carry an assortment of rifles to use based on the situation. When we finally are able to make T21s on my server, I plan to keep my laser and E11 rifles, but I also want to have a coupleT21s (pre-slice) special made, one made for very low HAM costs with accuracy +mods andone built for damage. I'm sure I'm dreaming though.

The cost of the weapon derives from the difficulty to make them, which I believe is "under investigation."

T11 is good for non special moves. After that, you kill yourself faster then you kill the mob/player.

Bleed shots do not take into account AP.

I personally use my laser for bleeds and t11 for normal shots. Well, i did until my t11 blew up.

Bria just got T21s, and the smith that made mine made them to reduce the HAM costs(I picked up 4 - priced at 12k, who could resist? I probably should have gotten the last 3, too....I need to get a GOOD damage slice)

Stats are 116-320 damage, 26.8% wound chance, -70/0/+10 range, 37/32/68 HAM

I have sent the smith an Email to get a special order for a few very high damage T21s for me toshoot bleeds with.

Maybe you should petition a weaponsmith to make a low-HAM T21, and see how it works out for you.

That laser rifle have a stock? Doesnt seem like it, add a stock to that now.

But yes, Rifleman are awsome in PvP. I solo AH all the time its fun, I always have a 10-1, or 20-1 kill to death ratio.Sniper Shot helps alotfor me,And Strafe Shot 2 is just amazing if youdo it Right.

Hehe, I like AH. One of my favorite things to do is sneak in there, snipe a few people until I have no ham, then burst run the heck away!

That's where I like to go when I'm having a bad day... always left (usually in a body bag) with more FP than I came in with.
