Update 12. september 2008
These graphics are ment as a help to all newer players. A help to understand how the Skill Increase Bonus (SIB) works with weapons.
First a couple of charts showing at what level the learning period and skill bonus kicks in. Changing weapons at the correct levels will make your initial skill progress from 0 - 3000 relatively fast. (At least so we think!) Enjoy!
Learning Period
When you click the weapon's info screen, the SIB will show a number for the recommended level of using the weapon. From this level and up is the "learning period" active.
Professional Standing
[wrap=right]https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/gallery/files/5/0/9/4/prof_book_818336.jpg[/wrap][wrap=left]https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/gallery/files/5/0/9/4/star.jpg[/wrap]Look at all of your professional standings and their current levels, using your Actions Book ingame (hit "X"). In this book you find the star-symbol to gain access to the Professional Standings overview. Professional standings relate to the skills you aquire when acting in Entropia. All skills relate to sertain professions, and all skills add to your levels with different impact. For a complete view of all skills and their impact, take a view of this page in PE-Wiki.
The Professional Standings window will look something like this:
As a hint to compare your skills with the professional level, use your related combatskills divided with 100. Are you a level 15 pistoleer, indicates you have average 1500 skills related to handguns.
Max'ing out a weapon
All weapons bought from Trade Terminals as well as Limited weapons, have SIB within a definite range of your personal skill-level. They give you a faster skill increase as long as your skills are too low to use the weapon at maximum capability*
* No test results have yet been able to confirm this statement
As soon as you have the weapon at maximum use (Hit and Damage = 100%), the skill bonus will stop, and you may enjoy the weapon's full power. On which level this happens, is different from each weapon. Some jumps to maximum very fast, some are slower in progress.
Complete charts of information
www.entropiawiki.com is the place to find exact information about the range of SIB. It is also possible to add information in the Wiki about when the SIB stops.

It has been a long, long time since i had a SIB that i could check, but now that you mention it i think the damage on them is actually a change in min and max damage such that the average does increase somewhat but not the same way that the conventional weapons work. I will change the way it is worded until someone can check more carefully.
