But machinegun is clearly the weapon in the game which benefits the most from ATP, so not using at least a Cati / Power is a major loss in DPS; it would widen the gap between other weapons, comparatively.
Machineguns are really nice on Fighgunners, IMO, for a lot of reasons:
FI specialises in two single-handed melee weapons.
FI is primarily a melee class, so the quickly drained PP of the machinegun is not so much an issue, since you'll be using melee a lot more.
FI has high base ATP.
Since machineguns rely so much on the character's ATP, it's likely they will one day surpass crossbows in DPS, when we have enough ATP for that -- but that probably won't be until Lv180+ if the class levels remain at 20, less if they increase classes to 30 or more. Although that will be for elemental crossbow PAs, it'll take more than that to match the DPS of Yak Zagenga.
