Linear Canon or Railgun?

So yeah, which one do you prefer
Railgun has more ranger but less force (like 11 force less...)
and Linear Canon has more force but less range.

So which one is better according to you?

Railgun is better all around

Railgun hits for 41-60 with a Lily Rain
Linear Cannon hits for 70-90 on air targets.

Both are still for practical use... only Linear Cannon should be used with another weapon... also Linear Cannon's range is awesome.

Railgun's for all-around use, fast fire rate and charge rate, it does eat ammo if used a lot.

Both need ghost raider arms if you want to aim at anything.

^ Not really.

I put a linear cannon on a Accel Saber AM (on a Destructor).

I've tested and have proven to be able to hit 32-walk-short-boost-and-boost-run LND targets.

Although, the downside is that they generally will be heading straight for you and if you don't pop the shot off on time, you may die.

Linear cannon is derpingly slow to charge, but railgun is decent. 4 railguns, cheap arms and legs and a Saggy make for a possible 10 rail dart burst.

But the range difference might be a little derp to handle.

That aside, though, it works.

i heard linear cannon don't have aoe, not sure about the railgun though.

I would go for railgun because even though it does less damage, it:

A) Charges 2-3x faster than linear cannon (higher dps overall)

B) Has longer range than linear cannon

C) It's a helluva lot lighter than linear cannon

However, linear cannons are far more manly and intimidating. My seraph crim unconsciously runs away from things that are big, loud, and flashy.

Linear cannon = x4 charge speed. 210 cost.

Railgun = 11 less force,more range ,1/4 charge speed 90 cost.

oh and linear cannon is more expensive in the shop,and being an L sized weapon.

AGREED also linear cannon les aoe to long to charge

Does the railgun deal explosive damage ? The linear cannon does, and so, is especially good at taking good aerial target... as long as you can aim properly.

The railgun makes a little explosion, but the linear cannon pierces like a beam rifle.

All in all, though, the railgun costs about 100 less BP. Biiiig difference. It also doesn't nerf your mobility.

I'm just pissed that I bought two linear cannons...then CS releases railguns. I want a refund!
