Is it just me or is it that Kinetic Tusken Rifles don't exist anymore?

They started as kinetic, but for reasons never fully disclosed were changed to energy.

The Tusken King Rifle from the Huff Darklighter quest is kinetic, but it isn't certified so you'll do almost no damage.

This was a silent nerf back near release, and it turned into a "it never was" said by the devs. But many of us clearly rememBer it as. Personally I think every profession should have all damage types.

The technical term for this is "systems balancing", prior to release. After release, it's still balancing, but changes can be considered nerfs or enhancements.
Since you don't have it yet, if you cry nerf, I'll make sure your name is on the list to spew chicken feathers as your characters talk.

DXR6 rifles dont use projectile rifle barrels.

Have you looked at it's damage type lately? A guildy of mine refused to believe me, and swore he had a Tusken hanging on his wall with kinetic damage. It had been hanging there since he 1st decorated his house and he hadn't look at it in a good long time, so I asked him to take a quick look. It was energy. Someone had snuck into his house during the night while he wasn't looking, and taken a nerf bat to his toy...

It's a true Tusken Rifle but i guess your talking player made/Looted Tusken Rifles and not quest rewards.

But in answer to MaksmanDemon99's question yes Kinetic Tusken Rifles do still 'exist'

Since they have announced that after the CURB all rifles will be either Kinetic or Energy damage, surely they will switch the Tuskens back to kinetic when they update all the existing weapons.
