So I played around with DE-10's following the CU with tissues upto 150 max damage and acheived less that impressive results. I figured this gun was overlooked and was effectivly screwed because it has no barrel (white barrels have no stats). From posts I read here the damage cap was stated as being 948 the same as a scatter. The gun is slower than anything else. No point to it.
The DE-10 has begun to fade away. Worthless, useless, a relic of pre-cu master BH / Master Pistoleer templates. I couldn't have been more wrong.
It's only just dawned on me that the DE-10 can actually exceed 1050 damage. You need some crazy tissue to make on of these and I mean almost legendary stats, add a yellow barrel to the mix to make up the missing damage and you have a magnum. Wound comes out at 23% and a pre-cu scope will allow +17 accuracy.
I've not been able to find the damage cap due to my tissue not being high enough but I suspect this gun may be in a league of it's own if crafted with the right parts. The extreme rarity of the parts in question will keep this gun pretty much off the streets however someone weilding on of these will be a force to be reconed with.
BTW did I mention they also have a higher min damage than any other pistol as well.
Im currently looking for the material to craft one of these guns at it's damage cap. Anyone succeeded where im coming up short?

The one I made when I hit the cap was crafted with a yellow barrel and krayt tissues with +181 to max damage.

I see some people claiming to have capped higher, but if that's the case then the DE-10 is the exception to the rule, since the stats on the components in any other weapon does not do anything to increase the cap, all it does is let you hit the cap with fewer experimentation-points.
Atleast that's my experience, though I've only made one DE-10 after the CU, which was the one that capped at 960.25.

Interesting...
What kind of SAC did these guns finish with?
I'm still holding on to the dream of an ADK-worthy DE-10 some day....

Both!
I'm greedy like that.
It's been my goal since the CU started to have a DL44 XT, DE-10, and Featherweight FWG5 all ADK'd. So far I only have the DL44 XT. 
When that day comes, I'll be a very happy Pistoleer.

How the hell was this 1051 damage then, I'll get a screenshot as soon as I track down the owner.
It was sliced and useda yellow barrel.

My guess? You got lucky on the barrel. The barrel affects the cap its like 948 I guess + x where x is barrel stats.

Apparently it is 948 max damage+ x damage, being x the dependant of yellow barrels... thing is yellow barrels don't drop anymore, and they have hidden stats ( speed, damage, wound )... the chances of getting the correct barrel are kind of slim.
any way , a guy i know, bleck , made one that ended up with 1003 damage, after using the last 6 yellow barrels he had..

Yep, and if you don't have a yellow barrel, the stats are horrible. The DL44 XT easily surpasses it. If yellow barrels are not going to drop any more than DE-10s are pretty much nothing but novelty items.
