Thread: Switching Rifles?

I'm hoping some of you can give me some insight on the Rifle Switching I keep reading about.


I am almost to Novice Rifleman, so I will be adding the T21 to the lineup. Currently I use a Laser Rifle and a Tusken rifle.


I keep reading about people using the T21 for the first couple shots, then switching to the Laser Rifle for the Headshots, then switching again.


Why do this? Is it because of the HAM costs on some of the rifles? Speed vs. Damage on some of the rifles?



I'm about to be entering this profession and I'm just looking for some help!



Thanks!!

If your fighting a mob with a Armour Rating of none then the DLT20a does better damage per HAM than a laser, it also seems to miss less and has a faster fire rate.


However the laser (T21 if you have it) can do fantasticfront loaded damage, as a mind bleed(s)are based on the damage1 shot does, it makes sense to use the biggest gun you can. After that use the one that does the most damage per ham.


I use a laser to hit a mob with both bleeds, then switch to my DLT20a to finish it off. Unlessthe mobwarps next to me, then replace the "switch to my DLT20a" with "I've won another free trip to the cloning center!".

I put all power in the t21 cos the first shot must inflict more damage , if i miss i say him "please get back ! i will try again... "
