Guns

Understanding Weapon Stats- Accuracy?

I'm trying to understand the numerical weapon stats posted here and other Borderland websites. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Damage: Damage each hit (or pellet, for shotguns) inflicts. The higher the better.

Accuracy: How much chance this gun's shots will miss or hit. The [i]lower[/i] the better?*

Rate of Fire (RoF) in Rounds Per Second: How fast this weapon fires rounds. The higher the better.

How many characters? How many guns? Switching characters?

1. How many characters can you create? Mostly out of curiosity, though I figure you can make as many as you want.

Gun models you'd like to see

How varied are the weapon models found in the game? With "87 bajillion" guns, I can't help but wonder if we're going to see guns that look like:

1. Thompson Submachine Gun - the iconic weapon of the Prohibition and mobster era and World War II. Specifically, I'm thinking of the version with the drum barrel, under-the-barrel handle, and long stock.

How versatile is the gun drop AI?

Yeah, I know: millions of possible weapons. :-)

Specifically, how possible is it to find and get weapons just right for our builds? Getting such weapons will help making the best out of certain specs and vice-versa.

For example, I want to play Mordecai as a Gunslinger. However, I'll still want to do some sniping every now and then where it's tactically advantageous.

Randy Shows Off Acid Shotgun At Pax

Thanks for Heresresolve and Orangetriangle pointing it out on the forums (you can discuss it there). The footage is low-quality but it offers a good look at a gun with the acid special effect. Video after the jump.
