no effects, random pool, i'd say "average" ham costs (probably around HS2 ?), i think 2.5x dmg but you'll have to check the multipliers in the status/faq thread.
u don't need to use it from cover, as the skill description suggests.
it works well as a decent dmg/random pool, single-target shot.
otherwise it's useless.
oh, and i hear that if you use it against a mob/npc the target won't agro you on the first shot. i've never tested this though.

A second or 2? Unless your a Master, that doesn't doesn't mattera whole lot, and even at Master is STILL doesn't mean a whole lot. lol

a 1-2 second immobilised target means EVERYTHING when you got a high ham melee up your ass
