Laser and scope with (L) weapon?

So does they really help any or is't just a waste of peds to use laser and scope now when there is so many (L) weapon around?

Edit: ofcourse i mean when you have 10/10 on the weapons ^^

Question would be "Does it reall help with anything ?"
I saw no difference with UL or unmaxed guns, but somehow the little decay more seems to give me slightly better loot and globals.
Can't prove it, just a gut feeling.
For me it's like putting ressidue in the machine while crafting components...I do it for luck and nothing else.
I had better runs when scoped than when unscoped, feels a bit like an mining amp.
MAybe only superstition, but I feel good with it

It sure looks good/cool if you have two laser and a scope on a gun so i think i would keep it just for the looks but it do feel a little strange if they would help my aim when i already have 10/10, can you get better then 10/10??

In my opinion the reason to use scopes and laser sights on already maxed weapons is that they add a little bit of extra decay, and extra decay equals extra skillgain and thus faster skill progress...

a scope really comes in handy to see the feffs in the dense yellow fog hunting west of fury. also comes in handy looking into a mine field of red dots, you can find which ones you want and pick the mobs out with a nice long range tagger.

Sure you can but the question is, does it help you aim anything?

That's another good reason to get a scope

Well, i never would use em on maxed, but i do assume they do something as ur maxed out hit ability is not 100% hits from what i understand. U don't start with complete misses, just liek maxed doesn't mean no misses

How do you know that ( He asked in a nice way)? It there proof that is true or is it just an old wives tale ? I have also seen many people say that e-amps and laser weapons with high decay give more loot than BLP weapons. I am not flaming you at all just wondering if there is proof or just what everybody says. If high decay means bigger loots then why wouldn't everybody hunt with long blades or knives, they are the worst decay you can have?
Just honest questions and hope, not offending.
