SoroSuub Bi-Polar Blaster BMC-150

[Tupteq]

Don't you think this weapon's stats are screwed up? It's ranges are far too high, especially as for carbine: 25-100/200/300, which means that it's point blank range is 25m! I made a quick recon in Grys Weapons Stats and best point-blank range for hand blaster is 20m (DC-17m, Sniper Rifle Attachment) and there are two (not heavy) weapons with better point-blank: Verpine Shatter Gun (50m) and HB-4 (50m) and IMHO both are a munchkin weapons (totally unbalanced).
I treated it as a mistake (especially that description don't tell about it's incredible accuracy) and changed Bi-Polar ranges to 3-25/100/200 (3m is best among other carbines, rest of ranges reduced by one level) and now it's a nice carbine with great damage and not very expensive.

Well I generally don't mess with how they come out of the book. Just make the availabilty less so they are harder to get. Just cause they are out there does not mean they can get there hands on them.

hmm, good point. just make it impossible for them to get it

but i do think that 25m pb range is a bit much

Because of how this weapon was listed i actually ran it the 2 times this came up in my game, what i did was consider that 25 meters the MINIMUM distance that the bolt has to travel before the two bolts coaless into one, causing that damage. You could of course, fire it one barrel at a time, with regular rifle damage/range..

That was my take as well- it needed to travel 25m to cause full damage. This was in Gundarks, right? I think it may have said something to that effect in the flavor text as well.
