HA!!!!!!!!! I just replicated this picture.
A) Yes, He's using the Piranha.
You have to be: 1)in cover and 2) have your accuracy bonuses MAXED "I'm talking both class passives and equipment." In other words - you won't be this effective during actual play.....EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice test OP. Lets see you manipulate some more data to fit your erroneous point.
Actually OP has been very up front...
Look at the picture at the top of page 17, those show the Claymore is more accurate, which is a point in favour of those opposing him/her somewhat, yet he/she freely posted it without any problem or manipulation...
You may disagree with what he/she says, but from that POW he showed commendable honesty, you can not deny him/her that, for it's there for all to see...
EDIT: damn FTL forum... :/
My point is his position and test are erroneous. Without his carefully controlled laboratory environment and manipulation of conditions, this weapon will NEVER replicate the depicted performance during gameplay use.
This, in many circles, can be called "misleading data". Knowingly submitting "misleading data" to support one's point is not looked highly upon in the scientific community. This is not evidence of the weapon's accuracy. It's evidence of what the weapon can do when:
1)max out passive accuracy
2)max out equipment accuracy
3)dive into cover
4)fire once
5)take a picture of the spread
In real game circumstances:
1) Player pulls it out while running around a corner
2) Anything beyond 6 feet is lucky to have A pellet hit them
3) Not everyone is playing a Geth
4) Not everyone is playing a turian
5) Very few times (unless you're playing FBWGG) do I see people firing this weapon exclusively from cover
6) Very few times will you be firing only one shot.
7) Very few people will ever max out accuracy equipment
Must I go further..... And he didn't explain how he got his results and if you look very closely, the border of the picture is gone; why would one crop that out?
