Thread: Question for you weaponsmiths....
A spraystck is a very small, very fast "rifle". It does not suck as the others in here would have you believe. Its the rifleman's "Last Ditch" weapon, in that it has the lowest ideal range and highest speed for when you need to run and fire at a random charging animal. In PvP it is basically useless, as it is energy and has no AP.
Sorry no screenie, but stats on my last batch were like 95-185 1.8 unsliced. I'm no rifleman but I get requests for these a lot for the reasons I stated.

I must disagree with the previous poster. WerrtZer is a bug propagator. It'd be wise to disregard anything he says, as rubbish.
The "Last Ditch" weapon of a rifleman is the swoop, jump on and ride out of range again. Caveat of the rifleman is speed, so any rifle with a speed slice should be deleted, any instrument with speed under 3.0 is useless to the sniper.Come to thinkof a speed sliced spraystick is worse than poodoo, if that is possible.
However, in PvP its true color shines through. It is most enjoyable to use a5% wound enhanced feed mechanism in a damage sliced spraystick. Then commencespammingmindshots.This will become even more enjoyable as TH anticipates puting mindshot damage into the blue column once more.
Don't let thosearmoredmeleers scare ya, cuz alot ofarmoredpeeps use 0/0durability helmets to intimidate. I know a few, meleers that do just that, cuz they don't want their good armor dinged up, dueling.

Heh. To be honest, I usually avoid PvP like the plague. Other than that, it sounds interesting. Guess I'll look for one.
Oar is an idiot, pay no attention to any of the garbage he spews.

I'm master rifleman and the only time I ever use spraystick is when I'm doing faction missions with those 64k HAM bases and I don't want to waste condition on a good rifle to blow them up. Some people use them for warning shot, I didn't cos I don't have the ranged support line. It is a horrible weapon outside of a few particular situations because of its lack of armor piercing, poor accuracy, and high HAM costs.
I used to use it a lot for destroying bases too, for the same reason. Only use I found for it.
don't waste your condition on your t21 or laser rifle when hunting a 1000OQ wooly hide on talus... the spraystick is perfect for killing those paralopes =)
