So, I've begun hitting dead shiny weapons in crates and I'm curious if they are actually worth using. The only difference I see is slightly reduced recoil, but is that really worth the +100 LP?

The only other advantage I see to them is they look flash as hell.

1: what more do you need than flash kit?

2: the dead shiny small arms like rokkit, shoota, and the choppa blade are good. The dead shiny heavies are kinda meh but I like the dead shiny plasma deff for controlled burst fire.

I have the fully modded dead shiny shooota but I don't use it. I just don't perceive a real difference from the stock shoota.

I usually prefer the Big Shoota: slightly better at range, accurate at short range (with hravy barrel), it has suppression, it makes you save some LP.

Bullet guns are where you'll see the smallest difference with dead shiney weapons since they only report as giving less recoil, if there are other hidden advantages I'm not sure if anyone knows them.

Rokkit Launcha, Kannon Deffgun, Zzap Deffgun all get faster 20% firing times so those are very worth it.

Kannon only get a 10% increase, but that's okay because it doesn't cost any extra LP

The numbers were just a guess, but the point is that they have a very tangible bonus as opposed to the recoil stuff for normal guns.
