umm, just wondering if anyone else had made a 5.6 43-411 laser rifle with standard HAM and no stock or scope? or is it just a fluke on my part?

that seems a bit off unless you have ungodly linksteel alum, also it seems like the speed should be lower than that because my lasers are 40-390 5.7.

well these are what i've made, im making 56 of them in my factory as we speak, the current best on my server was 5.9 396, yet somehow using the same materials i got 5.6 411 lol

396 max should be 5.5-5.6 speed unless they're using stock and/or the crappy adv barrel, i don't know what the hell's going on there

yeah. all the ones im talking about use advance barrels, some best without advance barrels are around 5.7 speed and 390 damage like yours

I can get my laser rifle to 400 max dam with no scope or stock. 417 max dam with a stock

what are the stats on your advanced barrels

Mine are about 406 max 5.6 speed. The aluminum is 960/700. My adv barels are +11 damage -.3 speed. Basic are +8 -.4 speed.

Could be that experimentation bug that allows you to go all the way regardless of materials. It's happened to me once before, I had the same reaction. I immediately contacted another master weaponsmith friend and asked "even with our new copper is gun x with stats x-x/x possible?" Try making another gun with those same resources. If for the life of you you can't get the same stats, its probably this quirk.

This has happened to me before. The laser rifle I ended up with was 417 5.4 Speed with one moderate success. I ditched it because I got a moderate and also because I thought it was a bit fishy. The bug works like so, on final combine I started at 28% with materials that usually give me 24%.

These guns are the result ofa bug. I highly doubt it's an intended feature for a smith to get lucky after every so many combines. The gun I ended up with is probably the result of two bugs. One is the moderate success bug, the other is the final combine bug. It has ONLY happened on one laser rifle ever. I have yet to see this behavior on other guns.

When it happened to me it was a Dx2

was making a schematic for power handlers last night and on my forst one i had a "good success" i saved it anyway and made a couple more with all "great success" results. the one with the "good success" ended up having the same minimum damage as the others, a couple points higher max damage, and being a little faster. very strange.

Why would you not put a scope on it? If crafted corretly you only add 1/1/1 HAM cost. It doesn't effect speed. While it does have a bugged graphic, and looks a bit goofy,it still adds the added range bonus.
