Do you ever even use pistols? (non cloakers)

[Professor Frink]

Never use em. Not even sure of their effectiveness in battle really. Any non cloakers out there ever use them & which do you think is the most solid?

[Spee]

When I run around in my sniping getup, I refuse to use my BD indoors. That said, I always have my trusty MAGScat pistol. I've taken out Rexo HA users by just strafing without surge and my magscat.

[LesserShade]

I have a repeater on most of my loadouts. When you're in a close quarters fight with someone and you both run out of ammo it's a helluva lot faster to pull a pistol and finish them off rather than reload.

[Jagd]

I always carry a Repeater when I'm using the Sweeper, Rocklet or Thumper because they have such small clip sizes, you often need another bullet or two to finish someone off. It's way faster to whip out a pistol than reload.

[VashTheStamped]

CUD > Pistol
REK > Pistol
Grenade > Pistol

IE - i dont carry pistols :)

[321]

I carry a AMP but I never use it :lol:

[BUGGER]

I snipe in agile armor, so I have a Reapeter on side.


But the most solid one(s) are the empire spacific, but for the NC MAGscatter. I feel the MAG is more of an indoor weapon rather than anything else, same with the AMP.

[TheN00b]

Ya, I don't see too many Scat Pistols or Beamers, but I do see quite a few Repeaters. Its a fairly powerful combo to be able to strafe with an MCG, than pop off a few killing shots with your pistol.

[Kaymon]

I have an anti-max decimator loadout, and I keep a Repeater handy in case some 'notamax' guy tries to take me.

[Seer]

When I snipe in agile, I carry a repeater with a single magazine of ammo. It gets a lot of mileage for a gun that I don't carry reloads for.

[Searo]

I carry a Scat with my Agile/Sniper.

I only use that setup when I'm sniping and driving my Lightning, usually I go reinforced with a Sweeper/BD.

[Kikinchikin]

Nope.

[I Hate Pants]

Ive tried using the repeater sometimes, but I was never successful. I've managed to punk a magscatter pistol once and kill a cloaker with it.

[SkunkPunk]

ever seen the kinda tells people send u after u kill them with a beamer? :rofl: :rofl: thats why i always bring one in rexo

[Liquidtide]

I always carry a sidearm, even if I have no ammo for it. Usually if I'm using a thumper or a bolt driver and some lucky cloaker finds me i'll click on DL and my amp, a lot easier to hit them with that.

The other night I had my decimator loadout charging a VS taken tower and I got up to the CC with no more rockets I pulled out my amp and took out two wounded VS grunts, I thought it was quite amusing that my little amp did that.

Amp = Invalueable

[kerosene31]

I never carry a pistol. I carry grenades, an REK, and/or the engie repair tool.

[Spee]

Beamer = infil sniper rifle of death.

[BunBun]

I keep a collection of Repeaters in my locker for use with my glue gun when I drive.

[aiwest420]

I never carry a pistol... Already carry bank,med app,cud,rek, so until they implement some sot of sidearm/nade only slot i won't touch em ;)

[Rbstr]

I carry a BANK and a cud whit me pisolts suck (as they should) and its easyier to just reload

[GreyFlcn]

About the only real reason to use a Beamer. Although Agile sniper it might make sence.

[MuNsTeR]

when i start a noob.. yes.. cause theres nothing better for it

[Biohazzard56]

When i run out of ammo for my guass, i jump get right in their face, jump again. Facial with the AMP :)

Why would you carry a pistol when you have a sniper rifle? It's one of the most veristile weapons in the game. Heavy weapon **** aren't the only ones who can abuse Surge; you'd be surprised at how many kills you can get by surging point blank to a guy with a sniper rifle and then pulling the trigger, especially in Agile armor. Even in Reinforced it's not uncommon for me to nail Jackhammer Agile Surgers with a Bolt Driver at close range. Just hit Surge, strafe like a madman, dash right into their face, pul the trigger, and evade their shots until you're done reloading. Then stuff another bullet down their throat. No word of a lie, I have better survivability with a bolt driver up close than I do with a Cycler.

[Ed the MAD]

most of the time, no. usually i die before i get a single shot off from my primary weapon, but, in long battles with the Vanu, you'll most likely see me scrounging around for Beamers. i like the Vanu weaponry souly because of ammo convenience. you don't have to lug around three boxes of each ammo type. that saves space i can better devote to loot.

[DeadTeddy]

I carry a pistol but when the time comes I always forget to use it.

[Zatrais]

Nah, no room... BANK and CUD is all i have, along whit my trusty minigun :D

[ChewyLSB]

Well, my mossy load out has a pistol on it (Repeater, Glue gun, and Med Applicator). I'm actually quite a big fan of the Repeater.
