The patch notes indicated that the FWG pistol power handler nerf is actually a fix because it was drawing power from both a feed mechanism and a power handler.

Don't scatter pistols and launcher pistols also do this? Please let me know if I'm smoking some crack guys... I'm not a weaponsmith.

However I'm not a fan of "selective fixing" when it results in a big nerf my way.

You are correct; launchers and scatters work the same way. However, the rationale for this may be that Launcher and Scatter pistols are elite weapons, whereas the FWG5 is a novice one. It takes a great deal of effort to be able to wield these guns, and I feel they should be notably better than what novice marksmen can use. Then again, i'm not a fighter

so i don't know if this disparity does something harmful.

This pistol and three other guns were fixed. The fix was that they could have two power supplies before, depending on the way its crafted. There were different rules that were stacking the modifiers. Those are all the details I have time for atm. I know you need more of an explanation, but I have to stay focused on getting the Player Correspondent program up and running.

I take this to mean that these have been corrected as well. As a rifleman and a WS I am actually glad this has happened as having pistol to be easily enhanced well above a range that a rifle or carbine could ever hope to achieve is unfair to the other professions.

The feeder enchancers seem to have been boosted to krayt status as well!

so are we all scrambling to make "pre-patch" schematics/do factory runs yet?
