I was doing some pvp today and the max shot i got off on someone using my 600 max damage t 21 was around 1200 with straffeshot 2. A master pistoleer shoots me with a launcher pistol for about 1300 damage. How can this be possible? Does his gun have 600 damage? This seems redicilous that riflemen can be out damaged by pistoleers with one shot. Besides this they can shoot a pistol of 2 speed at like 4 times a second while even master riflemen have to wait. It seems that because they have such a speed advantade they should not be able to hit for as much as riflemen. Im confused.

1) you probably hit the low side of yor T21's damage range.. 600 is max damage what's the low? slightly more then 100 no?


2) the rifle is as long as you are.. swinging it around at pointblank is hardand slow. lets take a real and logical look at it.



you aim at a guy next to you with your T21, he kicks/punches the nuzzle, compleatly ruining your aim as he shoots you with his pistol/hits you with his melee weapon.


Or the mob moves past the muzzle of your weapon to bite/claw at you you have to try and get the mob far enough away from you for your rifle to acualy fit beween you.



3) hitting stuff while running..... as before it's a huge metal weapon... you should be glad you can run with it at all. go outside pick up a metal bar the same size as the T21 or plastic tubeing and try and aim at something while you run.

A launcher Pistol is a commando heavy weapon. I didn't think it could be used with pistol specials though but I could be wrong. Pistoleers don't do more damage. Commando's do.

yes he was probably actually novice commando. and yes specials can be used with a luancher pistol. my guildmate is master smuggler and novice commando and does mean damage with last ditch with a launcher pistol.



we have tested this on each other.
