All BH weapons suffer significant "efficiency" losses due to their slight increase in range and/or projectile speed.

And efficiency (damage done/ energy used) is important.
Here is a list of some high and low efficiency weapons.
HIGH:
Most Plasma guns due to slow speed and small range
Most Neutron guns, especially the ones with a fire rate of 3.03 (LBA & FA).
Tachyons with a fire rate of 3.03
Particle cannons, especially the Xeno's & outcast ones.
GMG & Gian photon blasters.

LOW
BH lasers and particle cannons.
Rheinland tachyons due to their high fire rate
Civillian lasers are average.

So i allways go for the guns with HIGH VELOCITY and high efficiency. refire rate and range are less important.

bounty hunters are good for only one thing---target practice.

It must be the Cardamine talking

Bounty Hunter Weapons... suck. Except for the fact that they chew through positron shields. Damn those bounty hunters.

You have to admit seeing those BH weps in action is awesome though. I mean I understand that nobody on Lancers is a law enforcement type, but you should try it one time, one of my favorite past times is camping the omicron alpha jumphole and gradually accruing a giant herd of bounty hunters (they dont resume patrol due to the weapons platforms). I like to listen to them to tell me when a bad guy is coming but isnt quite on my radar yet, and as everyone else says they are very low damage so as long as i shoot the target the herd is i will get the kill and the loot.

oh ya, and I use GMG Skyblasts. my favorite guns.

They don't suck. They sell for 32000+ per copy on the Malta second hand parts market!

CW is right. You get money from their ships AND a pretty fireworks display.
