Any Pistol...why bother

you just haven't found the right pistol. i have one pistol that's freaking awesome. i knocked enemies to the ground. which is good if you need a place to recover. smg use to much ammo. but take out enemies quick. but i have the ammo regen perk equipped which comes in handy quite a bit for that situation.

Yes I'm sick of know it all's on a game that is brand new.

Pistols have better falloff, accuracy, and rate of fire in most cases so you can afford to miss once or twice; shotguns don't have that room for error built-in.

I prefer the pistol over the shotgun as backup as I can throw a lot more lead down range much more quickly and the crits are far more severe.

Which can be done with any weapon and competent marksmanship... Or aim assist.

Wolfhound with x4.2 crit multiplier, siphon effect, and extended magazine has been second only to a purple SMG I'm in love with for damage.

Hate to say it...but learn to play.

I actually have a few pistols I use fairly frequently. typically the wolfhound.

I like having a fast firing semi auto secondary and it has lightning on it, orange quality, 4 outlaw mods. it does the job :)

Indeed.

but I choose to do them with Pistols.

and that's the beauty of a MMO Shooter, as opposed to a regular old team deathmatch shooter where everyone has to use the same weapons.

pistol is a close range sniper rifle, meant for single(or quick burst) shot, precise crits.

every weapon has a specific use, for specific situations. a shotgun is great when you can't be precise, and/or there are more than one enemy in range. SMG is amazing burst DPS when something needs to die or there's a limited time to hit it, at the expense of ammo. launchers are usually about splash damage.

I keep lookout for the VBI HP-6 Wolfhound. With good mods and basic crit. bonus i have it doing 354 dmg with 5+ crit. mult. =)

yup.

Personally, I am growing to like the Pistol/SMG combo.

Pistol in my first slot, for precise crits, SMG in my second for when I just need to pump out a lot of Damage in a short amount of time.
