on starsider tangles only get up around 105 damage base, but its a stun weapons, so you get a few and hope for a 30 percent damage slice then stick a powerup on it and use it for pvp.
That is really the only use the gun has, composite armor has no resistance to stun and a tangle with a good slice and powerup will do roughly 185 damage. They are decent against a player in composite, but thats all they are really good for, except for a few mobs that are weak to stun.
i recently had 5 tangle pistols made using high velocity feed mechs , max damage on them was 127. i got a high damage slice on one of them so with a powerup max damage is almost 220 ( though a speed powerup increases damage per second unless you have bounty hunter pistol speed mods ) . unfortunately this pistol is still absolutely rubbish because of the accuracy mods . i did a few tests on a willing subject and even though i am a master gunfighter with accuracy skill tapes i missed 3 out of 5 times on average , same test using a fwg-5 and i missed 1 out of 5 times on average ( the person i tested on does not have a defence stacking template ) . in conclusion i think that the tangle is worthless for pvp , even a crappy looted geo sonic blaster is far superior.
