Can someone tell me how these fanlike weapons work? They have no PAs, so one must wonder...

I'd assume they take bullets just like the other ranged weaponry

There has been movies posted before, you should hit the "Forum Search" button, but if you want the basics;

it works just like a handgun, it's an off-wand, one-handed ranged weapon, the PA are elemental attributes, similar to a "Frozen Hit" or "Burning Hit", except they are separate version for cards, just like all ranged weapons.

What has been said:
-Shoot more than one projectile
-Said projectile travel slower than a snail's pace (slower than diga)
-Said projectile tracks monsters a bit
-The weapon, animation and projectile looks bad (question of taste, imho)

I have only played NA version of the game, so I have yet to toy with them, but from what I gathered, they don't look awesome, just something interesting to toy with. Maybe they have awesome stats, I really didn't look much further than that; after all it's kinda like torture to look at things we can't use yet... (And then I'm crafting some CREA weapons, as Beast.. And PM420's use claws, and mobs are using dark bullets and claws in endrum.... argh, this game's teasing me)

Idunno, they look kinda cool to me. Their speed isn't that horrible, they seem to speed up once they aqcuire a target. From that video it seems you can use that speed to an advantage and fire the card, then fire a spell, and both hit at relatively the same time. Since I'm going guntecher, I'll definately try one out.

Only noticable problem is the severe lack of damage. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

She was using fire bullets on a lightning based mob and hitting twice per fire for 90+... not that horrible, assuimg it wasn't a C run or something.

What's also a plus side to cards from my experience on the JP servers is their particularly high elemental %

Truly another force weapon really.

Not to mention hitting twice for 90+ from a single handed weapon. Not bad at all.

They get 3 bullets at level 11, however they don't get a fourth at level 21

I miss the diska. I know, they suck, but it doesn't seem like pso without them to me. Since I was a Redria, and that was my most common find. Diska+ Redria= My kickass Red Slicer with 50% hit!

It was a B rank run, by my best estimate Mad Creatures B. The monsters, levels, and locale fit the bill.

Then the damage looks fine to me, using the wrong element, and being a 1-handed weapon.
