The thing looks like a can of mace and held like a pistol.

How is the T21 AP0? It looks like a cannon.

Ooo oo, I can take this one.


It's not a rifle. There's no way that you can apply any aiming skill or experience you might have learned for rifles to this thing, period. It's misplaced and silly.


That's like training for years to learn how to play the piano, then somehow being a wizard on the banjo.

I think the Spraystick is a placebo emergency weapon meant to somehow give a Rifleman the feel that he can survive a close-quarters combat with a high ROF rifle that has a much lesser PBP than any other rifle apart from CDEF.

The problem with this logic is that the pistol/carbine isn't really limited by range, and the rifle still is, and the Spraystick is like comitting suicide because melee mobs can hit you if they're inside the spraystick's ideal range most of the time.

I've always found using a fast pistol and WS to be better.

I always thought they should have made the Spraystick be a shotgun style weapon. I was disappointed when I saw it looked like a can of bugspray.
