Thread: jawa ion rifle
Finding a very specific resource might make things harder, but trying to find a very specific resource that actually has some decent stats is really hard. And a lot of higher end weapons require multiple specific resources, so gathering those together with any decent stats is even more unlikely.
And stun type damage is nice because there is basically no armor that resists it.
I think this is a good thing though. What would be special about the high end weapons if they were so easy to make everyone had them. And what would be the point of the lower end weapons if the high end weapons were everywhere. From a marksman standpoint you can use pretty much all the guns of a given specialization by the end of your first day of playing. So that obviously limits nothing. The high end guns need to be rare, or at least high end guns worth a **edit** need to be.
Sprarysticks are made a lot, still suck. At Master rifleman speed is not a factor.
DMG is king once your master. Don't even consider a low speed gun because most likely the average dmg is lower and you really wont fire any faster.
i here that these are great rifles.. could some please tell me why?
AP: Light, Stun damage.
Get a couple hunting boxes from scout.. find something besides AT-STs that resist tons of stun. You'll understand 
It does stun dmg which is the only dmg type composite armor is vulnerable to. I tested a few shots on someone wearing composite armor in a duel and it seemed to do almost full dmg. With the 75% pvp dmg reduction stacked with a good set of composite some of the other rifles will do VERY low dmg. Thejawa ion givesus a nice way to get around heavily armored pvp targets.
