When at one Recoil Mod. The Pierce 2 Ammo has less recoil than the pierce 1 ammo. Both 1 and 3 will use the same animation for recoil.

One of the best HBGs in the game. King of Pierce and Thunder Ammo, has Wyvernsnipe, Low Deviation, positive affinity, Sleep II Ammo, Wyvern Ammo, mediocre damage and comes with inbuild Spare Shot (Xeno'jiiva set bonus) skill. Can also use utilize Normal Ammo 3, which is a bit underwhelming in the current meta but works out. If you're not a mongoloid who thinks blast weapons are good, this should be the first thing that comes to mind when you want to spend your lunastra crafting materials.

For some reason whenever I look at the gun all I can think of is the name crestfallen. The legendary hunter shot the monster and it became crestfallen.

does the Razor Sharpness from this gun stack with the Xeno armor? or does only one take affect?

My preference for best hbg. Not the best damage but the inherent spare shot means you pop shots for days without restocking, it also has access to every pierce ammo (my favorite) as well as normal 3 if you like long barrel and a nice variety of status/element. Again, all of these can be fired far more before reloading/restocking. 10% affinity and 2 lvl3 gem slots which allows max pierce up leaving your armor free for whatever the hell you want.
