Wookiee's have it best
My bh's bowcaster is 1350 odd with a pup.
Bowcasters are kinetic? Wow, you sir are a lucky man.

Okay I tested this on a testsubject wearing a 1921 PSG and a Recon amour with the following stats Kinetic 6952 Energy 4952. He has the follwoing defences +185 MElee, +205 Ranged, +50 Pistol Defence
I used the Following 2 Weapons for the test
1. Tusken Rifle (Kinetic Damage, CL 40)
Speed 2.67 (Pupped: 297)
Dam 360-887 (Capped) (Pupped: 468-995)
SAC 82
Unsliced
2. Heavy Lightning Rifle (Energy, CL 54)
Speed 2.62 (Pupped: 2.92)
Dam 500-1144 (Pupped: 651-1295)
Elemental Damage 40
SAC 82
Sliced
I tried 2 different shot on my target Ranged and Critical shot none of the critical hits did critical damage so the result should be consistant.
Heres what I found out
Ranged shot: 188 with Rifle 2, 269 with Rifle 1
Critical Shot: 344 with Rifle 2, 511 with Rifle 1
In conclusion it seems that it is indeed a good idea to get hold of a tusken Rifle if you want to pvp against people using PSG's
Im trying to get a test subject with battle armour and a jedi with PSG to make the test even more telling

Tested it again on another test subject with the following specifics:
Melee defence +130, Ranged Defence +80, Unarmed defence +75 Battle Armour 6k (both to Energy and Kinetic)
Used ranged shots an critical agian and I didnt have any critical shot so testresults should be consistant.
The result is as follows:
Ranged Shot: 221 with Rifle 2, 248 with Rifle 1
Critical Shot 415 with Rifle 2, 472 with Rifle 1
So in conclusion the Kinetic Rifle still beats the Energy one even though its 14 less in CL
Oh I might want to mention that all tests were done with the pus on to simulate a pvp situation

Summerflame, you are my hero! 
I was hoping this would be the result. I'm off to buy some kintetics, though I have a question. The capped energy rifle would be pretty costly to make because it required good components. Compared to the energy rifle, how much more or less would you say the kinetic would cost? Does it require the same quality krayt tissue to cap? Thanks a ton!

Its easier to cap th eCL 40 weapon than the CL 54 weapon. As for pricing I cannot tell you as server economies differes greatly, but dont pay as much as you would for the CL 54 as then you will be ripped of

Yeah I was a bit late getting back to the point.. but I had an FWG5 in mind rather than a rifle.. for obvious CL reasons

I tested both kinetic and energy and the difference was marginal however it did lean towards kinetic.
I used the following: Both have modded speeds of 1.6 but anyway.. ..
LD-1 Rilfe - 1152max pup'd
Heavy L.Rifle 1289max pup'd /w 40 elemental dmg
Tested it on 6500 battle with both resists @ like 6505 and my psg @ 2401
Dont have the numbers in front of me will update later but the LD-1 exceeded the HLR on several rounds. Only thing I did not document was "if" the elemental dmg on the rifle was included on the numbers or if it is even actually working.. ..thats my slip up.
Doesn't accuarcy determine how much damage you inflict as well as the hit % or am I confused?

I tested the accuracy on weapons in this thread and the answer seems to be that atm accuracy on weapons do nothing at all

Isnt the LD-1 rifle the looted rifle with horrible sac? Or can it be crafted as well?

thanks for the link.. .. and I guess that answers that question hehe. Yeah the LD-1 is quest only but I couldn't find my fwg5 so went with that. Plus its a little closer to my HLR than my fwg.. ..
