My apologies if this has been mentioned before. If so, please post a link.
Accuracy, HAM,and speed is not an issue (I'm a BH). But how what components will increase damage? Obviously slice, krayt tissue, and pups, but what else?
Scopes? Stocks? Muzzles? Grips? What kinds? Anything else?
And if it's not too much to ask, are 68 max damage and -.47 tissues decent?
Thanks in advance.

One of, if not the biggest factor is the resources used. Basically all ranged weapons need Conductivity and Overall Quality. Another big factor is the ol' 12 point smith. The extra 2 points can make a helluva difference. My two favorite carbines, mostly for looks, are the scoped, and stocked elite carbine and laser carbine. With the 68 max dam tissue, which is nice, you should be able to make something that fits your needs.

Super, thnx for the input.

yes imp ones are 25min 25max -.5? speed crafted are 40min 40max +.3 speed so if your not a BH and speed is an issue then you get a much faster weapon with imp stocks, but only use crafted if speed isn't an issue

formfitted stocks has 30 max dmg i think, and also No Special Attack Cost

m8 sadly its all down to the slice, im a carby
and now a WS - i made some Laser Carbs with +80 tissues and the best possible resources i have - i manged to get around380 to400 (i made quite a few)unsliced (speed around 2.2 and decent ham costs - like 20/40/30ish)
the ones i got good damage slices on, with pups the're just under 700 max dmg - now i need an anti-decay kit for it - 20minutes use degraded the weapon a lot - down from 1020/1020 to 900/1020 
m8 pray for a dmg slice

Well guys, thanks for all the input, but didn't do me much good today.
I had found 10 tissues all of the same serial. Weaponsmith told me if we made the power handlers in a factory all at the same time, I could get 3 carbs out of it instead of two. Wanting to increase my chances in case the slice came out bad, I forked them all over. Got 3 very remarkable laser carbs out of it, 3.4 sp and 83-387 dmg. Took all three to a Master smuggler.
Three speed slices. Each and every slice was for speed.
That was a fun waste of 600k. /yippee

Besides krayt tissue the only other thing to keep an eye out for is maybe an exceptional rifle-barrel. Everything else can be maxed out pretty much.

12pt makes a hell ofa difference in DAMAGE? how? Many of my resources max out the bar, or get very close (90% or above), and I can still fill the damage bar at 10pt, therefore the extra 2 points should not be that important to damage, rightt?

olib - you are 100% correct.
The extra points are used in the other exp lines (for me its condition generally), or as a fallback if the dreaded moderate success hits

Apparently you've never had a bad experiment like the rest of us...and as said previously in this post, the cond. can drop quickly so, experiment gods willing, you have the points left over to dump in cond, yes it does make a difference.
