Can someone tell me why I would want to use T2 railguns if I don't plan on using T2 ammo? Prototypes seem to be identical to T2 except they fit better, so I'm failing to see why I would ever use T2.

Two reasons:
- Price
- The T2 spec skill gives an additional DPS increase to T2 guns
-Liang
Ed: A third reason that comes to mind is availability. Meta 4 guns aren't always available, but T2 usually are.
Is the railgun spec skill the only benefiting skill for T2? Extra DPS for cheaper is good, but would take a while for me to train up to T2 Large since I've never bothered.

Well maybe when I get AWU V I'll start training for T2, but 10% more damage at level 5 just doesn't seem like a lot for that many SP's...

Believe me, you need t2 guns if you want to PVP. 10% damage is a lot more than you would think, and the SP's are hardly wasted (if you want to save time, Railgun specialization IV is a shorter way to go)
Well ATM I'm not doing PVP. And even if I was, the extra 8-10% is maybe 20dps? Unless I go sniper and use T2 ammo I'm still having a difficult time spending training time on T2.

because youll later realize you do want to use t2 ammo? because its alot cheaper? because meta 4s make you feel like some noob? i like the idea of a full t2 fit. im less wild over a best named fit.
But T2 ammo sucks. And I get only about 30dps more using T2 that barely fits the ship. And I don't need to waste time training any skills to get the guns I already have. So I guess I have my answer, I won't be getting T2 anytime soon if ever. Maybe if they come up with some better ammo...

Make you a deal: My Hype with T2 guns vs your Mega with T1 guns. Winner take all. :)
-Liang
Ed: Also, I strongly encourage you to review the ammo named 'Null'.
Null is for blasters, I use railguns. And the Hype would need T2 guns just to beat the Mega in DPS. EFT shows 7 T1 guns > 8 T1 guns. You'd get higher volley, I'd get faster volley. That extra low slot is worth more than the extra turret slot. Hype is just poorly designed IMO.
