Hello all! I am new to the rifleman trade, and while shopping for a T21 I saw a berserker rifle at a good price, so I jumped at the chance to buy it without doing any research. I would like to know if I was being too hasty in my decision, so my question is, what are good stats on a Berserker Rifle? Thank you all for your help!

better question is... what are the stats on your rifle?
mostly berserkers are not used much as they have no AP but after the revamp they will be a much more useful weapon.

Where can I find simular "leaked" CURB info?

Not leaked. Please read the armor stuff posted by thunderheart - AP IS GOING AWAY. Therefore an additional damage type is a good thing

ok ^_^ actually worth asking if you do not know and can't find it in the faq (reminds me I need to add that abreviation chart to the newb faq)
AP = Armor Piercing (Rifleman speciality as we have the most common uber ap weapon)
AR= Armor Resistance
three levels of each
AP light medium heavy
AR light medium heavy
if AP>AR by1 level you get a 25% damage bonus and if by 2 levels you get a 25% +25% damage bonus
if AR>AP by 1 level you get a 50% damage reduction and if by 2 levels you get a 50% + 50% damage reduction
so AP >= the AR of your target is a good thing

4 levels actually: none, light, medium, heavy. Normaly they are also called 0, 1, 2 and 3 at least for AP. So ap2 equal medium ap.

true enough but if your target has no Armor (AR) then AP has no affect.

Yes, I know it was not leaked info; hence the quote marks and the huge smiley.
Still, I would like to know where most of the information that is available about the CURB has been condensed/collected. If it has not, that's cool, I'm just asking is all.

All I can say is even if I knew telling you would be violating the NDA and opening you and me up to legal action that I would most likely want to avoid. btw Anything you see that says it is official curb data is suspect unless a dev posts it. I have seen much that is fake out there.

What I want to know is why is the Berserker Rifle the ONLY one of the big rifles that wont allow the use of Tissues and stuff to make it better. Just seems wrong.

You can use Gorax bone shards in them, i had one at 532 max dmg sliced and unpup'd until i sold it.
Any loot that replaces the Feed Mech i guess so spider fangs would work too.
