If i skill with a mann mph, i do 1 bullet at a shot, and i get 1 skill point per 100 bullets.
Now if i’d buy a gun that does 20 bullets a shot, would i still get 1 skill point per 100 bullets? So does skilling reflect the bullets or shots?
Dunno if it goes 1:1 but yes, you get more skill gains with bigger guns.
How many skill points you get per XXX amount of ammo depends on the mob your killing, the gun your using and how much skills you have already.
A gun that consumes 5-10 ammo per shot with the right mob can get ya a skill gain every 2-3 shots or so.
Same gun on the wrong mob would get ya a skillgain every 5-10 shots.
The less skilled you are the more often you will get skills, the higher skilled you are you get em a lil less often and you would need more skill gain messages to get each level at the higher levels.
Also either way it goes you will get lots more skills by shooting mobs, even the “wrong” mobs than you would get from shooting other players in PvP.
How would the rifle or handgun skill you get be affected by the mob you hunt? Doesn’t it only relay on the damage you do?

I’ve gathered that it follows similar patterns as loots. With tougher mobs the “basic loot level” is higher, but no- and low-looters (and many of them) exist.
I had major progress slowdown (before reaching 5k) in rifle couple of days ago. I travelled through spot with combibos (young-provider) among armaxes and I noticed I got at least one green (“you have gained skill in rifle…”) per killed combibo. I stayed hunting combibos and made much more gains than in previous days together.
So watch the chat win closely.
I find the skill gains a bit confusing. I usually shot a mob 2-3 times with my rifle to pull them and then finish them with my axe. I usually don’t get a skill gain off of the initial rifle shots, but after the killing blow with my axe I will occasionally get a random number (2-4) of skill gains in rifle related skills (rifle, aim, laser tech…).

I think this is part of the skill bonus system it basically will award you skills in a bonus after you kill the mob. These skills can be any item you used in conjunction will killing the mob + defence skills.
