[slight rant directed at no one in particular]
While the supporters of Demons/Hell Lasers with hit% may be correct in the fact that it's a good weapon and certainly better than their rarer counterparts in terms of special accuracy, I personally would never be caught dead using such a weapon. Why? Same reason I prefer Cudgels over Demos, Twin Psychoguns (with slight hit if possible) over Vulcans for HUs, and other similar comparisons: where's the fun in it? I dunno, some people just love to see the enemies die in the same way, again and again, where IMO the monotony is PSO's downfall. Half the fun of this game for me is in using weapons that the guy next to me isn't 50% more likely to pull out as well.
It just gets annoying to see people asking "is that an S-Rank Rifle?" (sounding like they're making about to make a compliment for your time/work in cmode or whatever) only to follow up directly with "ZOMG WUT GOOD IZ THAT WPN GET A HELL LASER W/HIT LOLOLOL". Yeah, I could get a hell laser with decent hit% with a couple hours in Ruins and a bit of luck. So what... I like my S-Rank. It's a case of perfection vs. fun. I've never been one to choose perfection. [/rant]
Then, it stands to reason that if you hae 35% hit ANYTHING, you might certainly find a good use for it.
As for the Bringer's Rifle in the towers, that is most definitely true... not that I've used one there, but my S-Rank is more or less identical to one. Ah, those stupid flowers die fast when there's a Demons weapon involved. XD
(yes I realize you did not use piping while you were on GC and are making this point without it... just saying)

In all other areas, I kill faster with Red Mechgun.
Yas9k is useless, it is weak, inconsistent and has no special. 99% of the time, Mechgun are used at point blank.
And if you are gonna attack at range, Bringer's Rifle owns Yas9k.

If you have it -- and I mean legitly -- of course it is a good weapon, but if you are going to hunt for it, you'd be MUCH better off hunting Meteor Cudgel or Demolition Comet (or S-Rank Twin), you'd deal about the same damage, and spend 600 less hours hunting it.
