Gun Stats

I've been wondering about this for a while, but too busy to play. Since I'm here now:

What's with the grey bits in the stat-bars for the weapons?

 

You've got your white bars, and then a bit of grey. What exactly does that mean? I'm fairly certain it is not the potential the weapon has as your familiarity with it increases, as I'm a boss with the cattleman and it still has the grey ends on the bars. Not upgrades either, as that same cattleman revolver has been maxed out and I don't expect any more powerful upgrades this far in.

It could be comparisons, but to what? It makes no sense to compare the cattleman to, say, a pump-action shotgun and all the other sidearms have comparable stats.

 

I'm not killing any less, mind you, but I'm curious.

The gray is the potential improvements you can get with the weapon modified. Buy mods at the gunsmith to fill up those gray areas with white.

 

Edit: Didn't read far enough. Well I was pretty damn sure that was it?

Possibly a debuff to stats because your weapons aren't clean?

Nope. Spotless. I've developed cleaning-OCD since I started this thing.

It's what I thought too at first, but I'm 65% in and I'm not expecting any more upgrades in the future.

I've wondered about this too. Could it be the potential given by switching ammo types?

Now, this could be it. Too bad I have just turned the whole thing off, but I'll have a look at it tomorrow. I'm pretty sure this is it.

I've been using regular ammo the whole time. Results are the same, no matter what shape hole you put in a guy's head.

I do believe I've seen the Damage and Range bar maximized to where the grey point ends while using Express and High Velocity ammo respectively. While pricier, those ammo types, when paired with a rifle or sniper rifle, are a good "F*** you!" to those human enemies that take too many shots to otherwise put down, shot placement be damned. Not many people fight back after being nailed with a Springfield Trapdoor utilizing Express ammo.

Let me see you craft 200 bullets...

Crafting be damned. Buy a few bullets, use said bullets to gain finances to buy more bullets. Rinse and repeat to 200.

You cant buy expansive bullets (explosive too). You can only craft those expansive bullets, one by one, one by one... But in the end it is completely useless anyway.

As long as somebody falls over after the bang, the ammo I've got is good. ;o)
