Ok I see now like I said I’m only 26 now so I know guns that are great at lower levels arnt always as nice at max level I’ve just been farming iwajira so the damage in the Maggie comes in clutch killing him but as for normal play I would think the shootarang would be more handy for the reasons you listed
The maggie is fantastic. Well worth using, but if you get a luck cannon, you will see why it’s worth the swap. I literally haven’t needed to switch weapons since I got the luck cannon. It doesn’t use enough ammo to force me to switch that way, it kills everything so fast that I don’t need to type match, and it’s accurate enough to replace a sniper when ADS. Plus it looks really cool 
outside of nisha’s “primary” skin I think it’s coloration suits her better than the maggie. I do, however, agree with you about the shooterang not being worthy of top gear. It’s just kinda janky and doesn’t do much in my experience. If you need to type match I prefer the tasers as far as pistols go. While they eat ammo, so does the shooterang if I remember correctly. Unless you HAVE to use a throw to reload gun for some reason I would just skip it. That being said, when leveling it is a great find!
In defense of the shootarang, it has the highest per-bullet damage of all auto pistols. Nothing to sneeze at. It’s also decent-to-great in all other categories. Even without it’s gimmick it would have a place at least in the discussion.
The Taser is great, mainly because it has high elemental chances and fire rate, which is awesome when you are trying to freeze your target, but as for damage per bullet spent, not as efficient as the Shootarang.
Thanks guys! I just got the the part where jack kills all the scientists in the moon base so I’m still not done the game ( after I beat it im gonna try the claptrap dlc and maybe I’ll get luck with the pistol in there) but I was just trying to be efficient with what I try to farm or grind at this point
My advice would be to use what you find and keep the farming for end game. Don’t waste your time.

what chuck said. I wouldn’t bother farming till the end unless you get stuck somewhere and even then you shouldn’t need to go crazy with the farming. If you feel like it, collecting purples as you go to use at the grinder can kinda substitute for farming.

Will Flayer scratch out the coach gun on the list?
More chances of scratching the coach gun
Why is that? Doesn’t it look like better than coach gun?
Nevermind, I misread your post.
A couple descriptions aren’t correct anymore: the Torrent is farmable since the latest patch and the Rosie is a reward for the last mission in TVHM AND UVHM.

I promise I will fix this Top gear thread sometimes in the next few weeks, including (but not limited to) adding the DLC’s weapons, fixing old info (Like the ones @narfkeks mentioned) and adding descriptions.
I just need to install the DLC and play it a bit before I do 
If some of you feel like writing entries for gear, feel free to send them my way

holy sh*t just got a Plunkett, gun is beastin’ with Crack Shot + Tombstone
haven’t tried it yet but does Boxxy wont get any damage reduction from Trick Shot but still get the homing effect? similar theory from Gaige’s Close Enough + Fibber
also won’t be Flayer outshine a Coach? and as for the Coach its pretty beast with a 4400 glitch
Most guns didn’t benefit from that trick, even back in BL2. Only a few did, and it probably had something to do with the gun spawning extra pellets upon impact.
In any case, unless it’s been fixed recently, trick shot is bugged and doesn’t actually reduce damage like it should. So moot point. 
I will add the Flayer once I get my hands on one.
And with the flayer being a big mag, does this change what ideal parts / prefix are?
Prefix would probably still be Doc’s, since the Flayer already has a very high pellet count, and as stacking Mag6 and Crackshot is impossible, I’d guess best parts would be the default Jakobs grip and Hyperion stock

Are you on PS4? I have an extra one (Doc’s Prefix with Jakobs grip) also can you please add these to the top gear as well.
Flayer (For obvious reasons)
Absolute Zero(with the Chronicler of Elpis COM… It’s short mag size(every shot will benefit from quick shot… and utilizing Slim’s cryo’splosion build… chuck I promise it’s a MONSTER!!!)
Pitchfork (this weapon I’m only campaigning for just for the Eclipse/EOS boss… Completely melts him away)
Don’t Dahl Lasers in general and Dahl/Jakobs miniguns deserve a honorable mention in the list? Also, what about turtle shields?
I’m on PS3, but thanks
Agree with @Ha_Na : Flayer is definitely best with Doc’s prefix, and probably still Jakobs grip.
Flayer should be in, no doubt (Not enough room for all those cool shotties 
)
I will have to test the A0, but it indeed looks promising
I have been meaning to put the pitchfork in here for a while actually. It absolutely melts RK-5, so I guess it must be pretty good against Eos too

I never actually tried Dahl spiniguns, but Jakobs ones are definitely good
Dahl lasers are good (especially railers), but they make last gen consoles (and many PCs) crash during showdown… I don’t know what kind of rating I could give them…
My main problem in some categories is trying to keep the number of entries down… more than 6 guns of a specific type and it sorta becomes silly. this is TOP gear.
Turtle shields were there at first, and I removed them… for the above reason.
