AMP. I like the MAG Scat, but if you miss like once or twice, you lose. :(

I can never quite get the same feeling with the others that I can when pulling out a Repeater, my locker is jammed with them.
It's my pilot sidearm of choice, not that I usually survive crashes.

Whoot for the beamer. Seriously it rocks hardcore especially cuz if you run out of jamemrs you can still take out mines with ease. Not so with any of the other empire pistols.
Edit: 50% of all votes twords beamer! /me Highfives martyr

It does very nice damage but it's just so damn revealing I would bever use it. Great armor stripper by the way, tore up half my AMS in less then a minute.

Spiker. Nothing better than posting atop the air pad at a tech plant, picking off rexo's in the midst of the confusion of battle. Not to mention Interlinks, railing above the top door under the dish, not much more to say there. That thing's like a hand held BD once you get good with it.

Beamer.
Use it as my main weapon in my Infiltrator (not kidding).

But, the spiker still reigns supreme :D

I have been an advocate of the Spiker since day 1. I am glad hardly anyone uses it though because it is overpowered as hell and I like to be the only one using them on the battlefield :D

Meh i realy don't liek any of the pistols.
I think that thee shoudl be two types of pistols in this game, the SA pistols(for infils /silenced) and then Sidearm Pistols(in MA) that can only be used by the agile and above, a heafty pistol/UZI(if TR), that can be used as a reliable back up weapon if you have a sniper rifle as agile, or if you run out of rounds with yout MA weapon.
NC get something like a .45
TR get an uzi thingy
VS get some odd laser beam thingamagiger
EDIT: Remember these are not usable by infils

I agree with that, I would much prefer a revolver than the Mag...

I would have to go with the repeater because its a great pistol, but if I had a second choice then I would go with the beamer, I actually rake up the kills with that thing without a cloak suit.

Spiker first then my trusty repeater =D

I thought the Magscatter would be more popular. Maybe the infils haven't voted yet.

As a somewhat sad side note, i just wanted to point out i was attempting to hold the spawns by myself in a tower, and only with my AMP. So a guys spawns, pulls his suppressor and opens up on me in agile. I fire and manage to kill him. I stare at astonishment that i managed to go toe to toe with somewhat "better" gun. Then i did it again. Is it me or at close range does the AMP own the suppressor in stats?

I think most infiltrators get their kills through dropping CE stuff. I've seen a ton of cloakers running around spamming areas with spitfire turrets the past few weeks, but only one or two cloakers who used a pistol and tried to kill someone with it.

When cloaking i try to pick up a repeater for long range kills, or just circle them with the amp. I used to use the mag, but then came the rexo buff, and if you miss or not hit with all the pellets, your done.

Umm....I'm sure half the people here are cloakers.
MAG just isn't that great for cloakers anymore. The ammo is too selective (even more so than the beamer), so restocking in the field is difficult. the range is....bad.... and for the ammount of damage it does, you might as well get melee booster and whip out the knife, cuz it will work better.

Well I admit is has been too long since I played. When I last played Surgile Skeeter droppers were the main trend. Me and my Enforcer were the weirdos hehe.

i like the repeater but i'm NC so i have to snag 'em every chance i get. heh. it's nice to couple it with the Phoenix in agile armor.. :D i dunno, not too powerful but good, nonetheless

I used to love the repeater. It was by far the best pistol. After the Rexo buff, it became usless. I cant wait till the new buff for it hits the live server. It will really be badass now.

The spiker is the most powerful, but the magscatter is my definite fav.

I'm pleasantly surprised the Repeater is the numba won choice atm.
