Nope, Tusken Rifle isn't Kinetic sadly, although it does sound like it is firing bullets rather than energy. I believe when SWG first came out or during Beta testing it was Kinetic but then they changed it... (for some crazy reason).

Tusken King's rifle, if you look hard enough around your server, there'll probably be a couple floating around either for sale or on display in someone's PA hall or house. I came across one for 660K ona vendor, was about to buy it but figured not to bother since I read that there is no cert for it (besides the regular Tusken rifle) for the kinetic one. Would make a nice nightsister hunting rifle although it is AP0.

actually it does not help much as all rifleman are uncerted for this weapon so it does insanely weak damage vs anything. This item is part of the darklighter quests, you in the end trade it for the krayt skull many people proudly display. Nice Rifle but we can not use it (or we can but just about as well as we use LLC, Beam Rifles, Geonosian pistols flamers etc...)

Tusken should be. Pistoleers have the Striker pistol... don't know if carbineers have one. I hate the fact that I can't help my buds on some things... and the devs wanted to encouragegrouping, funny that...

We gottwo new rifles so far(Berserker, DXR-6b)with 0 more on the way last I heard. Pistoleers got 1(DE-10) and have 4 more on the way. Carbineers also got one(DXR) with 4 more on the way.
Looks to me like we should be expecting 2-3 more depending on whether or not the Devs feel like fixing some older weapons or just adding new ones. I'd like to see the SG-82 have some functionality along with the Berserker rifle(not to mention it'd be nicefor it tobe craftable...).
The DE-10 was the first new weapon to be certified in the Master box, so we can expect one for ourselves as well(And because TH said so 
). That leaves room for maybe one more. Kinetic? Electricity? Or maybe they'll leave our Heat and Cold rifles as they are and give us some new oneswith AP2(another AP3 weapon may even be in order). Or they could give us some AP2 Energy weapon...

Or they could give us some AP2 Energy weapon... We really haven't much informationto go on at the moment, but we should be expecting some new things in our future. All we can do for now though is be patient and trust in Waste, the Devs, and maybe even the sandbox people to see us through.

back before mounts and bikes came in, the tusken rifle was kinetic damage. i used to own 1 and many people were selling the looted tusken rifles on the bazaar. but since their damage was so low and at the time, noone needed a kinetic damage rifle cuz nothing was 100 percent resistant to energy, noone hardly used them.
after mounts and such came in, the tusken was stealth changed to energy, then they beefed up the resists on nightsisters effectively making a rifleman useless against the Weavers, Stalkers and protectors.
oh and the devs tried to lie to us all and say they were ALWAYS energy which is an out and out lie on their parts.
anyways no rifle has no kinetic rifle due to devs changing things. sad but true.

I know this might be a little off topic, but are there any plans for having a blast type damage rifle?

actually early on in the game, the T-21 was blast damage, but that was seen as overpowering so it was changed to energy when they did the first nerf to the T-21.
i highly doubt we will see a blast damage rifle tbh.
with acid,stun,energy,cold and heat damage rifles, riflemen are considered lucky to have that many damage types to choose from, even though the cold and heat are essentially useless cuz of the lack of armor piercing.

Thanks for the replys guys. But that still begs the question what are the projectile rifle loot parts for? I mean what is the Weaponsmith supposed to ,ake with them?
