As the title says the forge gun is the best and here's why:
1. You can one shot starter LAV. This can really rack up the WP it the other team is stupid enough to keep spamming them.
2. You can one shot infantry regardless of how much shields/armor they may have. Given that the aiming is off in this game, being able to simply one shot someone is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths.
3. If you do happen to miss, the splash damage will most likely take away most of their shields and armor, so you can simply switch to the sub machine gun and finish them off.
The only problem I have found with using the forge gun is that sometimes the round seems to pass through the enemies body and does no damage. |

Not really the best weapon cause of this: You need a fatsuit which limits your mobility and you have no equipment at all. if you miss your first shot and he is face to face with you then you are dead meat.
The Heavy benefits from more HP. If I miss the first shot, I just switch to the SMG and take them out. Most of the time I come out on top. |

This is one of the main reasons I started using it. I got tired of getting mowed down by HMGs and run over be LAVs |

HMG's running? Forge guns being of use to anyone but roof campers? What game are you people even playing?
Try it out. You will see what we are talking about. Just make sure you have a good side arm in case you miss that first shot. |

I'm glad that everyone agrees. I was half expecting for someone to try to disprove me. Guess we'll take it as fact. |

Currently in the process of doing that with my alt. The plasma cannon would be beast if it didn't take so long to reload. The splash damage on that thing is fantastic. |

True...But what if you come up against a squad of forge gunners? I'm guessing it would be your worst nightmare. Especially if you run a gunnlogi. |
