Speed, wound %, damage, etc.
and what type of rifle is the best for pvp? (example: t-21, laser rifle, trando rifle...)
And what is considered a low "SAC cost"?
and what perticular over all status are considered "uber"?

In my opinion
1. Speed- although its not a show stopper
2. SAC- anything under a 100, youll see rifles with huge damage but then look at the SAC and fall over i.e. up in the 130 range. 82 is lowest SAC at this time...
3. Crit- I hardly ever look at this
However depends on how you play perhaps you want the rifle just for a opening shot then your switching then youd want a real nice chance for some awsome damage, then go for a high SAC Damage dealer.
Usually i slice weapon 2 speed 1 damage 1 crit cover all the areas.
On Intrepid I just bought an awsome T-21 with a SAC of 82 and some nice damage not elite damage but really nice. I guess some really nice resources spawned as I havent seen a T-21 with these stats in along time. Its almost as good as a advanced laser i had with a power cell Im ADKing this bad boy.
Im a traditionaist and just luv the way my big gun looks and sacrifice a little damage and speed.

1. Dammage -I don't bother if its not at least 900
2. Speed - This is the only stat that makes those under 1k dammage rifles worth anything
3. Sac - spd and dammage capped rifle is a pain to use if SAC is too high
3. Wound% - This is a gun stat? (lol j/k, honestly though, this has absolutly no bearing when i look at a rifle)

Heh, seems you're going to get a variety of answers here. My opinion goes:
1. SAC
2. Minimum Damage
3. Maximum Damage
4. Speed
1. SAC
2. Minimum Damage
3. Maximum Damage
4. Speed

Really, it depends on what you plan to do with the weapon. IMHO, it's gonna take at least3 rifles to really be ready for everything.
One rifle with an 82 SAC. The rest should be a comfortable balance between speed & min/max damage. This is your generaluse weapon for when you plan tobe firing nearly continuous. By keeping a variety of power-ups handy, you can keep this weapon running hot & fast, hitting like a truck or drop it's sac to some nice comfortable levelto fitthe situation & your style.
One weapon with the highest Min/Max damage you can find. This is your PvP sniper rifle, so Min is more important but don't overlook Max damage. Since the SAC is gonna be very high, your not going to want to be firing more than one or 2 shots to do the job. I'm assuming you'll be watching the field (propably under cover with your long range arms on) waiting for a target that's already engaged with another player and running at half health or less. With one of the new cannons running at 667-1334ish or a crafted weapon PUd to similar stats, /Aim and asip of Deut Pyro withAdv Sniper should hit a player with 300 Defense &PvP grade battle armor for 1350 damage or better. A MSword's armor break will push it past 2200. An SL with Paint Target or Called Shot is gonna be nice here too.
A kinetic rifle. Your gonna run into those players out there with defenses you can't touch &8100 energy armor backed by a PSG that seem to heal for 2k or better a shot. When you run into these, you'll be glad you have the slug shooter so you can deal with them. Mine is a nice balance of action, speed & damage that I tune with PUs as needed.

that is good stuff there. I agree.......I actually carry around three rifles for exactly those reasons. Nice post
