I'm not sure if people have posted this before, but has anyone else noticed that while the GEP gun's HE (high-explosive) round supposedly inflicts 300 base damage, and can destroy a military bot in two or three hits, a LAW can destroy it outright in one though it has a stated base damage of just 100?
The LAW's damage radius is greater than the GEP's. Its visual explosive effect is more stunning than the GEP's. Plus, firing a LAW missile a ruined car length or two will kill the player outright regardless of Augs. Maybe this was just a simple mistake that was ignored through the years because the game was so fun to play and successful.
I think we should disregard the official stats and just switch the base damage numbers between the GEP gun and the LAW in the GiantBomb article.
