Why is the S pistol so damaging? it takes a basic militia pistol 3 hits to kill a basic militia scout suit where as a militia shotgun takes 6 hits to kill the same scout suit. clearly a shotgun should beat a pistol in CQC?
Why is the HMG so under powered? it looks to be 3-4 times the size of the SMG but the SMG can kill the same basic milita scout suit with less hits than the HMG. The HMG should do more damage per round due to the increase in size and power of its ammo? |

scrambler pistol has always been really strong, just hit detection made hitting people with it very difficult.
HMG is good the way it is. Up close it tears through a suit, just the scout suit still has bad hit detection, if i aim at it up close, my bullets should hit where i aim, but you actually have to aim IN FRONT of the scout to hit it. |

I am torn on the actual effectiveness of the HMG. On paper it has roughly the same damage rate as an assault rifle (half the damage per bullet, twice the output speed, given some tweak elements like more frequent reloads for the assault rifle versus overheating and longer reload times for the HMG). In practice it seems more effective, but I think this is just the shock factor of getting shot at by an HMG. Most of the time it seems like I get kills because my targets panic. If they keep cool and blast me with an assault rifle or shotgun, I'm more likely to die than they are. |

My Militia Shotgun can one-shot Assault suits.

Worked out from stats given at marketplace.
Militia S Pistol is 70hp damage per shot therefore 3 shots = 210hp damage to target
Militia Scout suit has 100hp shield & 90 armour + 1hp for clone = 191hp total
Pistol wins by 19hp in 3 hits
the Militia Shotgun only does 35hp damage per shot (half that of the pistol) therefore 6 hits needed to kill the same scout suit.
This pistol (which is a short range holdout weapon) must have the Magnum .544 as a great ancestor.
We have not been told how the armour is distributed about the suit and if sections can be targeted. So don't know if suits can be one-shot. A militia Shotgun would need 9 hits to destroy a militia assault suit (thats 1 and 1/2 clips + 1 reload) |
