How much ammo would you have in reserve? If you want to see how this would work in the game, use NLB for a little while. That is a very slow firing primary with much higher damage then any other primary type. Edit: I just saw that you were saying it was a special in the topic. I got confused because you were comparing it to hand cannons. Keep in mind that impact works along side a hidden damage multiplier for each gun type. Very high impact with a low multiplier leads to not that much damage.

  • That multiplier is based off of the combination of your level, your opponent's, your weapon's damage, and your impact. What I'm saying is that a crossbow of one level will have more impact than a hand cannon of the same level.

    Yeah but there is a separate multiplier for the gun type, that is why a sniper rifle shows really low impact but does a ton of damage. The impact really only matters in relation to guns of the same type. A hand cannon with more impact will do more damage then a hand cannon with less impact, but a pulse rifle with more impact will not necessarily do more damage then a scout rifle with less impact.

  • I see where you're coming from. What I'm trying to say is that an arrow will deal more than a hand cannon bullet of the same level.
