Which guns are best?

[Echo 7-7]

We can all compare the stats for the guns, and we all see that some class 9 guns are more powerful than some class 10 guns.

So... Why use the class 10 guns, if your faction offers a class 9 gun that's just as good stat-wise? Every now and then I hear people say that some guns are more accurate than others, and I wanna know if there's any truth behind it! A mate told me that his aim is better with Magma hammers, than with Codies. I've also heard that projectiles that are shaped like a spear or an arrow hit better than a blob-projectile.

Is this just imagination, or is there actually some truth behind this? I would appreciate your input very much!

Fighter guns have no greater statistical accuracy between themselves, but certain visual effects are preffered by some people since it's easier to see the path which the projectile travels and thus adjust your aim.


NB: There are a few weapons which have in-built inaccuracy; namely Bomber Guns and Battleship Cerberus turrets. The shot will scatter slightly around the point where you are aiming.
