Thread: beam rifles
I know I've seen this before, but did we ever get a response as to what thier deal is? A weapon that nobody has a cert for (like the republic blaster) but gives rifle xp. I had some display models made for them and dang... I'd sure trade a laser rifle for these things, max damage is lower, min damage is way higher, and speed is about the same, and they could have been made better, since like I said, they're display models (mostly by using advanced handlers).
FYI the stats on the two, both were sliced, one for damage, one for speed:
Speed Sliced:
Attack Speed: 3.6
Min : 142
Max: 227
Wound: 53.1%
Min/Ideal/Max +0 @ 0m/+27 @ 0m/0 @ 64m
Damage Sliced
Attack Speed: 4.6
Min : 188
Max: 301
Wound: 53.1%
Min/Ideal/Max +0 @ 0m/+27 @ 0m/0 @ 64m
HAM was pretty bad 59/88/85
Odd that the ideal range is 0... maybe it is a commando weapon after all (I still wanna give it a try 
)

No, that is the beam rifle, which functions as a regular rifle and is listed under Rifles in the weapon crafting tool.
Those probably have a stock on them (+30 to damage and HAM), the one I made yesterday had much lower HAM.

And was made with **edit** resources, and was mildlyimpressive anyway. I hope the cert turns up somewheresometime, it was actually a rather nice gun. All rifleman specials worked on it, so hey, maybe it'll turn up in Marksman-Rifles 3 someday.
