Rifle vs. Bowrifle Stats

[aether4u]

Question for the general community. If you can/have crafted, or simply own either a rifle or bowrifle, can you please post the stats to this thread? It's a serious crafting investment, so I want to know what's out there first. I understand that people are generally unhappy with both, but it's part of my character concept... so trying to figure out what's best.

The whole ranged/ammo issue is bugged badly currently. If you do decide to craft them you will find very little to no customers wanting to buy anything above ql 50. This is because at the moment they simply don't do as much dmg as melee after lvl 40

If you look at the store bought bowrifle and rifles of the same quality level - they have EXACTLY the same stats I believe. This leads me to think that the only difference between the two is graphical.

Correct
only difference is the graphics

and DONT buy the ammo for the Bow weaponry, it costs 100cr each, has a smaller clip size but dose same damage than its basic counterpart, and you can use normal rifle ammo in bow rifles

AH! Good to know. Regular rifle ammo + bowrifle. How much does normal rifle ammo cost? Can anyone else confirm that you can use plain rifle ammo with bowrifles?

Also, did you see the note about 'adjustments to ammo damage' in today's patch? *waits excitedly*

[korin77]

Before this patch, basic ammo and ammo from choice mats were reversed stat wise in dmg. IE. the basic ammo did the most dmg and as you get higher quality the less dmg you did. If this was fixed by the patch then making your own ammo may be the way to go again.

100 sp per rifle/pistol ammo
30 sp per weapon template

i can conferm from a test thismorning that pistol ammo works in a bow pistol

i am 99% sure its the same with rifles

I am unsure if this is a bug

I'm guessing it's a bug, otherwise why would we get the race spcific guns when the common one is just as good.

Actually, one other thing - there are in fact medium q launcher/autolauncher/pistol plans available at higher level for 40 sps on top of the original 30 sps, just like armor.

Also, one question - anyone know what the name of the Matis launcher is? Tempted to take the ammo on that rather than my autolauncher since there are a couple of missions I might be able to run with it...

Well that makes me worried... Cerest, can you comment if this is a bug? If it's intentional, I'm going bowrifle + normal ammo.
