Longest shot...?

I disagree.... but..... you know.....

When we're speaking about long range shots, the larger target presented by the 90 AOB attack outweighs any advantages of magnetic pistols, in my opinion. This is especially true as magnetics are prone to prematurely detonate, and a longer run increases this risk considerably.

Whoa now.

I believe magnetics inflict more damage than impacts due to the area the 'hit'. They rarely predetonate in calm seas, and since this is a long rage sniper thread, I highly doubt the conditions we're talking about will be that bad. A magnetic shot under these circumstances is almost a must IMO, as the margin for error is so small, that you're going to want that extra few meters of target area the magnetics provide.
