Weapons question

[InuYasha]

I've been flipping through the various informational websites looking for some information about the various weapons available, and I thought that I might as well ask people who have some in game experience. I was curious as to how the different pistols stack up, or more to the point, are the empire specific ones worth using over the AMP? Which ones have the largest magazine capacity, which ones can empty their magazine the fastest, which is the most accurate, which is least accurate, and things like that. I know that I could just wait until May 19th and find out for myself, but where's the fun in that?
