What he said. Pretty sure the rare variants of guns are cosmetic only

It has a little more range than the other one too, the stats are slightly different

level 1

There's also the rare shotgun. Which is pretty much just a reskin of the double barrel shotgun.

level 1

I think range and accuracy are a little higher, but it cannot be customized. So if you've fully upgraded your regular one, it will be superior to the rare one.

level 2

I Fully Customized the Rolling Block and it just had a little bit more range than the Rare Rolling Block. The Rare one had more accuracy so I decided to pop in some High Velocity to even it out and been with it ever since.
