How much min/max damage and ham cost or speed does putting a stock on a laser rifle cause?

Thanks in advance.

Most people want the speed to be lower, so I don't usually bother with the extra 30 points of damage a stock gives you.

this sounds about right

84-441 damage 6.2 speed mind HAM is 77(?), its well worth it for me to build a laser rifle/carbine with a stock

wow, how did you get a max dmg of 441? Im using a 1600 cond/oq link steel aluminum and an 1800 cond/oq copper with a 40/40 stock and the highest Ive gotten a laser carbines max dmg to is like 324.

Most Master Riflemen I've talked to hit the speed cap, and the slowdown caused by adding a stock is no problem to 'em.

Agreed. One of my regular customers wanted as much extra damage as possible regardless of speed losses to get this ... I mentioned that I can squeeze 3 more damage for a 0.2 drop in speed (stupid ABRBs) and he asked for this. He tested between this model and one of my earlier ones with normal barrels and said he experienced no speed loss whatsoever. This was on top of a stock.
