Fighgunners, would u rather have a shotgun or machine gun? Personally I would trade my machine gun or a shot gun in a heart beat.

I'm no Fighgunner, but I prefer the shotgun by far.

Mech guns seem useful for fighgunners, since they give a huge burst of damage and can recharge while you whale on things with your main hand weapon. At least useful against things resistant to melee.

Im not a fighgunner either but if I were, I would say shotgun. Shotguns are vicious when used properly. Ive also notices that the percentage of fortegunners using shotguns has gone way up. Very happy about that http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif.

I prefer mechgun. As a fighgunner, most damage is dealt through melee. Shotgun is a heavy gun which is very inappropriate for the class. The one handed ranged are perfect for a Fighgunner, and should stay that way. If you want a shotgun and melee, go play PT or something

Yeah, and while we're at it, why not give us rods and rifles and axes?

Of course shotguns would be better than mechguns. So would a lot of things, and there're reasons we don't get them.

really? So hitting shooting 4 shots for maybe 140 each at a slower fire rate is better than shooting a machine gun hitting 200 each with about 6 or 7 hits in the amount of time you pump 1 shotgun shot ?

I only want the shotgun because it's more fun.

machine gun:for 2 reasons

mayalee fury=the bane of large enemies

saber-gravity strike-a good combo to pair with it.if you wanna get fancy,throw a single claw on the other hand and light shit up with the first photon art(wtf damage!)

machinegun is also rather useful in status effecting

shotguns are lame IMO,you know,something just turns me off about sitting there and shooting things from a remote place in the room.

twin handguns are better than both of them in terms of damage,fun,and probably status effecting too.machinegun/saber/claw has slightly different uses though as you can switch from mele ranged real easily,so its up to the player in that case.

S rank handguns owuld be nice htough >>

well mechguns are good against enemies that are more stationary, like Jarbas, since it keeps plummeling them for about 250 every .5 seconds.

the percent is high on them when u lvl them (elemental wise)

Machineguns by far, I say. Those things get pretty ridiculous at high Bullet levels and with a good gun. Plus the free right hand, like others have mentioned.

Shotguns on the other hand....in my experience, their usefulness tends to drop off a lot once you're capable of using A-rank equipment. My shotgun just can't keep up with anything else I've got on my Guntecher.

Now if Fighgunners got Crossbows this debate would be over long ago, but I think it's no contest between Machineguns and Shotguns.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, because we do get crossbows.
