What is the classification of Ballistics?
What are some example of ballistic weapons and how can you tell if it's ballistic or not?

What exactly ingame is ballstic? I was using a pistol and apparently I was gaining xp for ballistics. But nowhere does the gun mention it's ballistic.

The icon next to the damage number shows what kind of damage it does

A slingshot is an example of a ballistic weapon.

Or a thrown rock.

*sigh*

Anything that fires a physical projectile.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

You know when I said IQ rates in the US were dropping rapidly and this was becoming more obvious on these forums and people said I was mean for pointing it out... Can I just point this out again...

Three damage type are in-game for the weapons :

Ballistic, Energy, and Electro-Magnetic.

Energy is lasers, EM is everything that stuns but doesn't kill, and ballistic is everything else.
Easier?

It's not just in the US in my humble opinion ^^

Yes, ballistics work with shotguns, because shotguns fire projectiles ^^

There is also a damage perk for pistols and I guess there is one for rifles too you know? ;)

Endgame foes in very hard can have several thousands HitPoints, you're nowhere near one shotting those ;)

Look at the symbol on the weapon.

Come on man, seriously.
