It seems quite a few folks have inquired in the past as to how a non-rare weapon such as the pistol BlackSun could possibly serve a fairly good purpose in a scrap, much like the rare libby.
I pondered over this for a bit, and came to a somewhat sketchy conclusion.
Primarily, the libby, though it is rare, cannot be compared in terms of feasibility to the BS because it is a non-TC weapon. These are two entirely different types of pistols, and one of them requires more points in two different sub-skills to utilise. However, one might argue that it is relatively easy to cap them both anyway.
To my understanding, the liberator is the rare version of the lower TL 63 A&W SMG224, and the BS the lower version of the ROLH. In terms of balance, both the SMG and the BS are over 25 levels lower in TL than their counterparts, the libby and the ROLH.So if the BS was as powerful as a ROLH, there would be concern over this imbalance, and rightfully so. But to compare two weapons of different genres, though each is essentially an upgrade of a lower TL one, isnt sensible.
Both guns serve their own purposes, and since the BS cannot be used to take out a monk as easily, i think it should remain the same as it is now, and the easier aiming of the BS is well compensated for by the inability of killing the class which predominantly inhabits the server.
Bear in mind, this is mere speculation on my part of what KK was thinking when implementing these weaps. :)
