Even for maxed out weapons, misses and critical hits are to be taken taken into account. This number - 8% of misses for a maxed out weapon - probably was measured in some older VU and never questioned since then. I don't know what is the % for critical hits. It is not clear whether the distribution of damage made by individual shots is uniform and doesn't depend on skills, like it does for FAP.
Thanks man, I didn't mean to come over as aggressive - had just been reading that *other thread* from last night! Thanks for the link, as you point out there's some very useful tools out there. Some of them I haven't used much so I'll check them out and add them to the first post sometime.

Again, I left out misses and crits as for maxed out weapons it just scales them all down by the same %. So for comparison purposes between two maxed out weapons its not so important.

But certainly for comparing SIB and non-SIB its needed. That wasn't my original intention but its worth mentioning so I'll add a section into the first post sometime!
