Infiltrators! What gun do YOU use?

[Slab]

This is a question directed at all the infiltrators in all 3 factions.

Do you use the common pool AMP or your faction specific sidearm?

If you use the faction specific sidearm, how much rounds does it usually take for you to kill someone in reinforced armor with full health?

I'm NC at the moment and I seem to like the AMP. I'm usually able to kill someone with about 20 rounds more or less.

I've heard that the scattergun can 3 shot anyone in reinforced so I'm trying to get some other opinions.

The TR repeater also seems to be a widely used weapon but I have never seen a Vanu using the Beamer.

Mag Scatter

mag is only good if ur at very close range as the bullets spread.:D

[BUGGER]

I'm TR but i always killed a nc and took their scatter. Other than that i use the AMP because the repeater has too big of a cone of fire when you run and t opens up tooooo big when ya fire and run, and i'm a hit-run kinda guy. And the beamer...i dunno, go to training on the first one u use the beamer there.

OMG the beamer sucks. I mean i've used it only cuz i had too and i got kills with it. But the order i like the pistols in goes like this.

1. Repeater
2. Mag-Scatter
3. AMP
4.

The beamer is better at medium+ range. But thats not when use a pistol. Though i did get two really nice long range beamer kills. One agile and one stealther runnin off to whereever while i was pilfering a weapon. Just happened to be a beamer. I crouched down and shot at each of them 3 or 4 times and they fell down right before moving out of range.

The Repeater is good at medium+ ranges. While being very good at close range. Due to it's RoF. Ammo is cheap, which is good.

Mag-scatter is awsome at close range. But loses it at sub-medium range. If you're not NC and you dont have medium weapons. Then ammo can be a chore to aquire. The easiest means is to take out standards.

The AMP can be very effective. But you gotta put more rounds on your target. Not the best choice for a dueling situation. Fine against other stealthers. Particularly if they arent moving to much.

Oh... but to answer your question? I use them all.

Mag Scatter is My Favorite :D

Mag-Scatter gun is the best. Not only is it deadly at close range, it also gives no tracer fire.

I would say amp is next best after the NC gun because of the raw amount of ammo you can crank out and it's COF is trivial if you stay point blank.

Third i would rank the repeater. Nice accuracy, good fire rate and uses common ammo, but gives a noticable tracer.

The beamer sucks, about the only thing its good for is killing almost dead people. It is fairly accruate and has a decent range. It has a small clip, and the tracer fire just shouts your location. It's "advantage" is that it can switch to ap ammo by simply right clicking, but AP ammo in any handgun is worthless. AP ammo in the beamer isn't even going to scratch a max or vehicle. The beamer may have been viable before they nerfed pistol damage vs armor... but it really isn't now.

I like the AMP, it just freaks them out, you know, BANG BANG and when they a4re at about 50 health, they are like "Shit!" and then they die, with mag, its like BOOM! Health goes down, they go" I'm getting shot, better move" then they turn around, see you shooting, you die, boom, I don't like it, shoots too slow, I prefer the AMP, Beamer is just fun to fuck with MAXes sometimes with, hehe, PING! PING! does some pretty good damage actually, but lights you up like a motherfucker

[Hamma]

I agree, that AMP scares the crap out of me.

[Dharkbayne]

OMG, hamma replied to one of my posts! And wasn't being mean to me! Yay! I'm happy!

[Hamma]

die.

:cry:

Mag-Scatter is my favorite, but seeing as I am TR I only get it when I can loot it. My second favorite is AMP. The beamer sucks for infiltrators and the Repeater is only goo outdoors where you can pistol snipe at people.

[TheJingle]

I like the mag scatter , but if i cant get one looted ( im VS =( ) , I use AMP if i feel like using a gun.

[Streamline]

I tooled around with the beamer again and i figured out why it sucks so bad. When you're in a fire fight and you need rounds to come out of the gun. It's RoF won't let you. Every other pistol does this. You can fire right when you want to, right when you need it. But not with the beamer. By the time you can set yourself up with a decent shot again its time to reload. Even the hit on the Mag-Scatters RoF doesn't inhibit the weapon in this fashion.

Mag scater > all

I have tried the AMP, and I am not very impressed. Ilove the deadlyness of that shotgun!

[MilitantB0B]

yeah, the only problem is I never seem to be fighting against the NC. When I do, I jam as many of em as I can fit into my locker, but I alsways seem to run out sooner then I fight the NC again. :(
Traded my friend a lancer for 3 of em though. :) That should last me the next couple of battles.

[malikai3k]

hand gun whats that! I just have my frag grens and my Rek :P

[Nitsch]

I got my outfitmate hooked on the "infilnader". Now he is a grenade throwing fool. The only problem with the infilnader is that you run outa ammo way too fast and you can only kill a couple people.
