Hi Dent, I've looked for an answer to this already on the wiki and didn't see one posted. If you have a minute could you provide a little of your knowledge? :)

I'm curious about what the Attack values on a weapon really tell us. We know that a pistol with an Attack of 8 is less powerful than a blunder with an Attack of 75. Is there a calculation that actually specifies what damage happens on a foe? Using a blunder as an example, perhaps (Weapon Attack value * Ammo type * Weapon Special abilities * Player's Skill level * Damage probability * Enemy type/level) ?

Just curious if Attack and damage is a black box or if there's a relatively logical formula going on. I'm asking because I'm really curious about whether to keep or trash similar weapons, and this would actually help in that decision. Thx.!!!!
