The thing that is frustrating about the Lasher is that it never shoots where you want it to. Countless times I've tried ADADADADing enemies and when I'd go right, it'd shoot to the left, then I'd go left, and it'd shoot to the right, and I wouldn't land one damn shot. I have good days though where I tear through NC and TR alike with it.
It's really hit or miss with the gun, but if you learn how to place your shots it isn't a bad gun at all.

Thank you for your reply, and i'm not trying to be a cock here.
But didn't you just contradict yourself pretty heavily there?
You said its frustrating that it never shoots where you want it too, and then you said learn to place your shots. :P
This is why I prefer the Sweeper. Sure its worse than a JH, but fuck me, at least its reliable. I know its range, i know what it can do and what it can't do.
Every time i pick up the Lasher i just never know if its going to hit every time, or miss every time.
I do play with a 180~ ping constantly because I'm in London, that coupled with the already suspect latency issues and hit recognition in Planetside makes some gunfights rather interesting.
Like, for example, me in a tower with an AI Max. A guy runs up the stairs towards me.. i move around the corner and start blasting him in the face, he looks at me for a second, puts away his gun, turns around and runs back down the stairs in a straight line and round the corner, while i'm constantly shooting him in the back, with hit markers everywhere. In an AI MAX. Its a Rexo i'm shooting at.
He doesn't die and just runs around the corner.
The thing i'm really looking forward to in PS2, more than anything, is having it so when i SHOOT people, they ACTUALY DIE.
