How and where did you hear this? =/
It's common knowledge that the Devs want to nerf damage. Supposedly they had no idea weapons(and armor) could/would get as good as they did. Also, they have stated that when you hold larger weapons(rifles and heavy weapons) you will move slower. We will likely be firing slower as well with all the crying going on, but there will be at least some of us working to prevent that from happening.The Devs have hinted at us being 'snipers' who will almost need a second character with us in order to fight so that we can 'set up our shots' and such. This hasn't been 'proven' as far as I know, but there were some threads where Devs had posted and made it clear this was at least being looked into.
We already move slower with our rifles. The T-21 is a one man portable unit, not a crew served weapon, so I hope they don't intend to make us only able to walk with those. That would be a tad irritating. If they want to nerf speed, just do it for PvP, and leave PvE alone(if that is possible).Also a lone gunman rifleman is one of the most enjoyable aspects of this profession. Making us have to travel with someone else makes no sense. If they want to go full forward on the "sniper" aspect, then give us better range, make head shots instant kills, etc. I know this is all speculation, but some of these aspects have me a little apprehensive. LikeI said, nerf the damage and leave the speed alone if they intend to change something along those lines, because it would just even out in any case in terms of us taking down a mob with being able to fire faster.

I hear you DarthMarksman- you can count on Waste and the 'Rifleman sandox team' as well as many others who will be there to make sure we are not 'overly nerfed'. Some of it does have to happen though. Butthis is still too early to really worry about it I think. I was just giving people what info we had so far. It could all be obsoletealready with all the work they have done between the time of those statements(around the Fan Fest mostly)and now.

Right now I'm using a 5.2 spd T-21 with about 450 max damage. Considering getting a 7.0spd T-21 with about 620 max damage.
Are these weapons krayt or does my server have really poor T21's? On wanderhome we have 7.4 408 as our best (before a slice) Even with a perfect slice we can only get to about 550 max.
Neither of those are 'normal' T-21s, don't worry. The stats you gave are pretty much standard for all servers.

At noivice with lvl 4 on speed tree, i found my damage sliced T21 (max damage 568 without pup, speed 7.4) did damage more efficiently than my speed slice (max damage 404 without pup, speed 5.2), with lower overall ham costs, due to firing much less. and now i have mastered rifles, i can cut through most mobs on dant with a couple of shots.
