A lerk just roosted right in front of me and out-regenerated the damage of 5 of my pistol magazines. Amazing this really fixes the 6 min onos and terrible fade problems. Good to see UWE's balance team on top of things.

Bull######.
w0 pistol = 25 damage per shot = 250 damage per magazine. w1 pistol = 27.5 damage per shot = 275 damage per magazine w2 pistol = 30 damage per shot = 300 damage per magazine w3 pistol = 32.5 damage per shot = 325 damage per magazine
You can empty your pistol in less than 0.1 if you wan to set a macro. In other words, it shots as fast as you can click.
Lerk has:
125 hp and 50 armor without carapace (125 + 200 = 325 effective HP against pistol (light damage)). 125 hp and 75 armor with carapace (125 + 300 = 425 effective hp against pistol (light damage)).
No way in the world you can outregen that kind of damage with those hp values ! If it took you 5 pistol magazines to kill a single lerk, then ...
-You missed 80% of your shots. -Lerk was sitting in middle of 5-10 crags with healing wave and pocket gorges assisting him.
No misses I saw the damage popping up, the lerk was regenerating right through my damage while getting shot at at the same time, I knew that's what was happening because of the regeneration animation. Nothing was around healing it. I do use a script for the pistol. Only 1-2 shots per magazine didn't register.

lerk with carapace has 75 armor.
75 armor for pistol (light damage) absorbs 300 damage.
