Any one around that can tell me what the difference is between the (bowrifle, bowpistol) - and the (rifle - pistol)

THanks

The bow-weapons are very limited ragarding range and ammo damage compared to pistol/rifle but incure less penalty on the upside (thats one of the things I really LOVE about this game: EVERYTHING has a price tag, there is no UBERsolution for any piece of equipment so far!).

A bowpistol crafted with Q20 choice mats can proably beat a pistol of Q20 vendor junk but as it is right now ammo seems to be bugged and prices for ammo crafting plans need to be nerfed so I would not start this skill branch right now

PS: If I would be allowed to dual wield pistols (go Lara, go!) things would be way cooler

i just noticed this! i can't craft ammo cheaper than they sell it off of an npc! for lvl 10 ammo it costs me either time or 900dap. i can get it for 200dap off of the npc. on the otherhand, my crappy crafted ammo sells to an npc for 700+ dap.

lvl 20 costs 400dap from npcs while crafting will again take more time or 2500dap to create. that makes ranged crafting not a worthwile skill to take b/c the price/performnace ratio isn't going to be too attractive to a customer. not to mention, selling your rediculously high priced ammo to an npc will get you less back talk.

i thought crafting was supposed to be competive to npc prices.

Did you take a look at the magazine capacity? I got the impression that the NPCs sell single shots.

omg thanks for pointing that out! i felt like i was wasting my time

And I meant rather the ammo crafting cost in SKILL POINTS - my apologies for not making that clear enough

Dual wield pistols would be WAAAAY Kool!!!!!!!!!

so what order have you chosen for ammo crafting?
i'm getting slashing as soon as i get 100sp to kill the kippee and ragus easier.

just debating on whether it should be rifle slashing or pistol.

it almost seems as if you need to learn all the crafting skills in order to be a good ranged weapon crafter so you can use the sp built up in the others towards gun making.

Yeah! I can't believe I have to hold bullets in my other hand
