red mechgun and yasminkov 9000M

[pso king]

simply put which is better and why?

[K_I_R_E_E_K]

That's a hard one, since red mechgun is more common, it's easier to find to good hit % and on top of that it has a higher grinder.

Yas is good for certain situations, it has like 2x the range of a normal mechgun, great to deal with lilies or even at last form of falz.

I can't give a defenitive opinion, but i would choose yas because of the range, to kill enemys charge vulcans are more then enough.

[pso king]

granted but if you can't find hit on a mechgun type weapon unless you have really good ATA they aren't very useful this would be for a ranger of course but still. and 2x the reange of a normal mechgun? sheesh I want one of those. and although this if off topic just one question real quick. if somebody got a zanba with 45% hit and 45% native for 2 PDs is this weapon almost a guarenteed hack?

[K_I_R_E_E_K]

Yes, the yas has rifle range.

As for that zanba.

either he priced it wrong or its a dupe so i donno

[Poo Fly]

i'd go yasminkov over any other weapon of that type, that goes for all yasminkovs because they just look damn cool
the 9000's range is a huge factor too, its handy in tonnes of situations were an ordinary mechgun would be considered useless.

[pso king]

while this is a bit off topic what are the advantages of the yasminkov's compared to the other's?

[Rena]

They look better, and aren't photon-based.

[pso king]

whys is being photon based a weakness?

[Rena]

It's not a weakness per sé, but having a non-photon weapon is something that not as many people can say they have. Plus it looks and sounds much better <.< I go for appearances over functionality.

[pso king]

I don't go for appearances over functionality per se but if an item isn't cool I won't use it. also I don't care about the sound because I don't use my speakers when playing anyways. I want a yas 9k with 100% hit 100% native and 100% dark yeah I know that's a hack but I can dream can't I?
