Now, I am NOT a gunslinger. I have only used he Antigua series once, up to the Silversix. Never once used the Blackhawk.
This is NOT a suggestion, and thus I am not placing this topic there. It is just a survey of opinion.
I hear many people say the Blackhawk is bad/too situational, and that the trade off for the damage to be split in a way more favourable for certain monsters isn't worth it. But what if, instead of piercing, it did elemental?
