Practicing with guns

[ProwlerPC]

Well play style is different depending on the RoF of the gun. The way you fly to keep optimal performance with 8.33's is a pretty different then when flying with 2.00's. The values of the DPS you find for the guns represents %100 accuracy with no pause to it's RoF. Although I don't know anyone capable of maitaining %100 accuracy for the entirety of a gun's uninteruppted RoF I can tell you from experience that it's easier to get closer to the DPS ratings with 2.00's then it is for 8.33's because there really is no way you can keep the high rate of fire of the lasers to keep landing on the enemy without pausing and readjusting your aim while the 2.00's offer a bit more time to adjust your aim before the next shot (ie: you aren't skipping as many shots for every movement as you would with 8.33's). In the end, over time, players who get comfortable with one type will have different flying patterns then one flying the other. Myself, I have been using and practicing the 8.33s my entire time here on Disco.

I've never setup any drills in our faction concerning Fighter guns. SNAC training was a big thing for us in the past because if you spend enough time practicing the payoff is pretty darn good. We would play "tag" with each other. One person was "it" and would have to chase all the rest till he SNAC'd someone's shields. Then that person was "it". The remaining GMG members from this time are all capable of popping Fighters with their SNAC quite reliably.
