Ranger: Best Machinegun user? (ppl actually use em' WTF!?)

[Mio]

I use 10 drumlines... that's 8260 pp

[Sephlock]

And an astonishing amount of meseta (to get the guns, I mean)

[Carbinne]

Compare to crossbow:

600 ATP + 275 ATP (8* crossbow) + 145 ATP (Solid/Power S) = 1020

1020 * 165% (30 Yak Banga) = 1683

vs Mechgun at 1240

Consider that every time you fire a volley, it fires three shots of this calibur.
Combine this with a low PP cost, a good recharge rate, 15% element, and Lv3 status...
In practice on my character I slam most monsters for 200-300 per shot (times three)
With a very good chance of status, too.

Considering how absurdly powerful crossbows are, mechs really need this upgrade to
be more competetive. I wouldn't be surprised if the very popular twin handguns turn
out to be nearly as effective as mechguns, even after the upgrade.

You should be a fighgunner with with an a rank dagger and an ice bullet so right after you bouten Shouren-zan something, you can ice it with the machinegun so that it stops in it's tracks and you can spam bouten shouren-san.
