The Barragers are 600/600 in the game data; the infocard info seems to be right.

As for a badass class 3 weapon, you'll probably want the Adv. Scorpion. Just go look at the stats.

I am currently flying a Drake in Rheinland, earning the money for a Banshee. And I am still using the Adv. Scorpions because there is nothing on sale that would make it worth upgrading (until I get the Banshee, hehe).

P.S.: Sorry for the mistake, but the Barrager Mk III is class 6. So it's the Tarantulas you'll want to look at, not the Scorpions. Difficult to get, tough.

P.P.S.: When in doubt and class 6 or higher, go buy GMG weapons.

naw i want a badass c6 or c7, the III means mk III, thanks though

If you want Class 6 or 7 , you're kinda deep in the hole. There is an obvious lack of quality class 7 weaponry, all the really good series end at Class 6, or start at class 8.

Noteworthy Class 6 / 7 weapon series:

The Sunblast A / B from the Gas Miner's Guild, these are solid Class 6/7 photon weapons. The Sunblast A is better than the Barrager Mk III because it's faster (750 m/s), yet has EXCATLY the same damage and power usage.

The Luger A / B from the Bundschuh. They're very similar to the Outcast's Tacheyon weapons, however the Outcasts do not have a Class 7 version. The Bundschuh do.

Instead of Tarantulas, try Pyros type 2. They're the best damage level 5 weapon (same damage as Tarantulas) but you can find them more easily the Tarantulas, on a few wrecks (Eg Puno in London, south west of Trafalgar Base)

For a nice Class 7 try Angelito Mk III's, good damage (neutron, 209, refire 4, 600/600; Leon, Cadiz, Crete, Tripoli). Hard to get, you'll have to be friendly with Corsairs. Alternatively Sunblast B's (photon, 109, refire 8.33, 600/750; Aomori Station) or Adv.Sunrails (particle, 209, refire 4, 600/600; Battleship Essex).

Personally when I need class 7's I go for all Sunblast B rapid fire death, they chew through shields pretty quick and they have reasonable energy use.

For the other side point, Barragers have a red projectile and sound a bit like a machine gun. Vengeance are blue streaks, and neither look particularly badass.

I fly banshee's on 2 different servers, with opposite loadouts.

For fast, high refire I use the Sunblast B and A combo.

For slow, super-damage I use a pair of Flamecurse and a pair of Drake B's.

Of course the faster weapons have advantages in accuracy, but I have had pretty good success with the Flamecurse despite it's slothful 500 velocity and pathetic refire of 2. Plus the Drake/Flamecurse weapons look cooler.. hehe. It's also nice tossing around nearly 1200 hull damage in a single click - with a light fighter

Another load-out I am contemplating would be a shield stripper like the Rapier, with 3 high-level missile launchers.. but I'm saving this one for when I have enough $$ to waste on missiles.
