How many advanced bullets does it take to kill a Dinosaur?
Finally get to build the Fabricated Pistol and Advanced Bullets, lets give it a test run. Find a lvl 30 Carbonemy, 36 shots later and he still didnt go down. Two metal pike pokes to finish... The description did say it sacrifices stopping power for fire rate, lets try it on a simple Parasaur. Lvl 9 Parasaur, takes 12 bullets... It took 13 Metal pike pokes to Kill a Lvl 7 Carbonemy.

TL:DR
Make the firearms/adv. ammo a little more effective maybe?..

They are weak against dinos and strong against humans. That is by design.

i had a level 135 argentavis, is dead within seconds by a turret, i think the weapons have better effects on taimed dinos

in real life it would still do more damage to have someone jam a giant spear into/threw you than to be hit by a 30cal bullet. But I would think that since dinos have such thick skin they make it so bullets do less damage.
Now that im thinking about it my dad always said "rifles are for hunting, the only reason someone wants a pistol is to shoot a human, not wild game."

Turrets have a 3x damage multiplier against dinos. Furthermore, ranged attacks do 4x damage against flyers. This results in a beefy 12x damage multiplier against flyers on the turrets.

The fabricated pistol is crap. The forged revolver does more damage per shot and also more damage over time, even counting the reloading times.

Assault rifle is also crap for the price it carries.

Engram firearms will always be bad due to their primitive quality. Getting a apprentice or higher gun will wreck dinos and players alike.

Yet still the forged weapons own the fabricated ones almost in all measures.

Yea, after watching a few videos on youtube I kind of came to that conclusion as well, thank you for the info!
