I'm pretty sure it's the only gun that has recoil on it's normal shot, as well as the rest of alchemy line and the 0*-1* ones. Autogun lines have no recoil but freeze one in place, so that's similar.

I have no mouth and I need to scream

It is also

the lowest damaging per second gun there is

A gun that has an abnormally long cool down factor that rivals even the autogun weapons

And has a little brother named slug who's mediocre at best when shutting down turrets.

Yeah, but when you switch

Yeah, but when you switch shoot Callahan and Iron Slug (both PvE and PvP) with Max ASI it's amazingly fun. Did that twice in a Vanaduke fight with a guildie and it only took around 15 minutes! xD

charge movement speed

Callahan also has a remarkably slow movement speed while charging.

Every single weapon slows you

Every single weapon slows you down when you charge it. Callahan's slowness is incredibly slow though, much like a Gravitron Bomb or Big Angry Bomb.

the data

Sweroy, I linked to data specifically showing that Callahan slows you down much more than other guns, and by the way much more than Fearless Rigadoon and Sudaruska too.

And btw is snarby cap and dread skelly suit a good combo?

If you're using only guns or bombs, then it's a terrible combo. If you're using swords, then it's an okay-but-not-great combo. What weapons are you using?

@Sweroy

"And btw is snarby cap and dread skelly suit a good combo?"

It is objectively worse than any beneficial class related (i.e. not black) kat hat + snarby suit, unless you're fighting poisonous enemies. I personally use black kat + dread skelly to max out my defenses and offenses on ice levels, like Heart of Ice.

If it IS for shadow+poison, then yes. It would work just fine, though you'd want poison med+ for UVs, as those would let you gain immunity. Of course, if you're really going for a perfect shadow + poison setup, then valkyrie would be a consideration as well.

It is also important to note that China is getting their black kat event on, so we might soon as well.

"Every single weapon slows you down when you charge it."

Most bombs don't even slow you down when you start charging but only stops you when you put the bomb down. and some swords don't slow you down when charging.

I use the Callahan quite a bit (though I suspect that will change when some of the new piercing handguns come out). It's a good weapon for stunlocking a small group, especially if you have ASI, but I don't and wouldn't rely on it for damage.

Both very, very wrong.

second one was not wrong

Actually, he was right that about half of the swords do not slow you down while charging.

But seriously, over half of the swords? I guess I'm just underestimating how many swords are in the game at this point...

Either that or there's a lot of [slightly different] reskins... (I know Brandish has 6 alone).

just look at the chart

I was talking about 5-star swords only. Just look at the chart. There are 18 swords, and 9 of them slow you down by 1% (i.e. probably not at all). Cheers.
