If you disregard speed on a carbine and focus only on rausing the damage and the lowering the HAM. How high can you get the damage?

I was wondering specifically on these carbines

Elite

Laser

DR6

E-11

EE3

Impossible because speed and damage are on the same line

So, if you want the lowest HAMs possible be prepared to sacrifice speed and damage. A 12-point smith can get a few points lower HAMs while still keeping the damage at max.

One thing that will help increase damage while reducing speed and minimizing HAM cost is to use Form-Fitting Weapon Stocks instead of standard Advanced Weapon Stocks. Form-fitting stocks increase min damage by 25 and max damage by 30, but decrease speed by -.5 and they have 0 HAM cost; in comparison, advanced weapon stocks are usually 40 min, 40 max, add .3 or so speed and have 29 or 30 HAM cost.
