If you are wondering how I came up with all these numbers it is quite simple. I tested each weapon and how they worked in different situations and against different enemies. Then I did the range and the damage the weapon did. Then I did an overall rating. Here is the score sheet if you are confused. I added both the range and the damage to get an overall rating: If both equaled 3=1.5 If equaled 4=2 If equaled 5=2.5 If they equaled 6=3 If they equaled 7=3.5 If they equaled 8=4 If they both equaled 9=4.5 And if they equaled ten they got a perfect=5 5.0 LEGAL INFO This page is used for neoseeker only, If you want to post this on your website please email me and ask if you can.
