I added a bunch of pistols, SMGS and a couple of shotties. It's getting harder to add stuff as I'm saving up SP for forge guns atm. Please help me better this guide by pointing out inaccurate info and if you got time, please read the guide at the bottom on how to figure out ranges and post them in this thread and I'll add them to the guide, thank you! Do mention what your relevant sharpshooter skill is for that weapon as it affects both max range and optimals. How to: Get a weapon and go aim at one of your turrets, use the L1 button to zoom onto them. If the target info at bottom left comes up you are in weapon range. Walk as far back as you can whilst still having the target info up. When it dissapears take a step forward until the target info text comes back up. This is the max range for the weapon. To check out optimal range start far away and move closer to the target. The efficiency indicator in target info will go up as you get closer, when it has peaked you are at max optimal range. Continue going closer, if it drops then you are at minimum optimal range. The laser for instance has a 18m optimal range 'range' very near its max range.
