About weapons saying full potential unlocked at Body 6 whats that mean exactly?

[Zephyr]

So what exactly does this mean... how is the weapon effected exactly? I'm trying to run a weird hybrid build with only 3 in body so wondering how this is going to effect my gun useage. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

[Zephyr]

well there are a few weapons that say it but that's one of them lol so if I try using divided we stand (I think that's one that says it) it won't do as much damage? or something along those lines and basically makes it near useless or at least not worth using

What it says on the description is that your mobility is reduced. Some say that they can't hold a rifle without having spaghetti arms. I hardly never use machineguns and in the description it tags both defender and turret machine gun in the category where your mobility is reduced. I have not seen any visual differences in holding a turret machine gun with low body and the mobility reduction if there is any , with a ranged weapon mobility isn't your primary concern
