Depends on your faction and your enemys, try to counter their shield defence, have not so slow but not so fast refire, and hit enemy all time.
In my eyes, best guns now is Kalashnikovs, they do damage like Hammerfalls but also very fast. eats too much energy however

Actually, I think different type of guns have different "hitboxes". For example, plasma weapons have a little bigger hitbox then particle ones.

I've thought so myself for a long time, but this is not the case. Any non-projectile weapon has just the dead center as the "hitbox", an extremely small point which must hit the surface hitbox of the target. Projectiles are another matter, they generally have a targetable object which itself can be hit.

As for accuracy, generally weapons with a short lifetime are more easy to aim with. They're not actually more accurate, but short projectile lifetime gives your opponent less time to react. Short distance, high speed weapons is what you'd be looking for thus. BHG Buckshots top the list for me in that regard, although their range needs clipping... They pair well with the 750m/s debs too.

At last someone who agrees with me. Buckshots are/were the best weapons in this game. And Manta is simply the best ship. Mostly because of buckshots, and because I don't need vertical stafes with it.

But I didn't test out the new gen 8.33s besides Flashpoints. I've been slapped around by Sammaels pretty good though.

Try out "Luger D" and "Purple Godess", I like that setup.

(Because this setup is effective against any shield and they are 700 m/s...)
