Yes, It is for Commando although the Pistoleer Specific one is probably better.

Im a novice commando and just purchased the pistol...Its a great weap heh 40-186 3.2spd Explosions everywhere screen shakes and sometimes annoys other people but i like it. It does give pistol exp and not heavy weapons...ive heard you cant get heavy weapons exp but not sure if thats rumor or whatnot since i havent found a flame thrower or Acid rifle to try but im looking! I took up smuggling on a side proffession and they use pistol so its not too bad for the moment at least i can gain exp somewhere

Kind of. It's a nice pistol, but that's just what it is. No HW XP.

So at least launcher pistols work even though they only give pistol experience which is dumb. I hope flame throwers are another of our main weapons taht we use alot not just acid stream launcher and launcher pistol.

I was wondering wether to get one for 12k at a weaponsmith shop. It did 50-182 dmg and 3.2 second firing rate. It's that or a FWG5 that does 30-155 at 2.3 second firing rate. Neither of these weapons are sliced. I was figuring to up my Pistoleer and hold off getting the launcher until they fix the optimal range on it, and then switch to the launcher to get my HW xp up.

Optimal Range? I get -36 atmax distance, as opposed to -50. Seems just fine to me

The optimal range of 0 does one thing: Makes it impossible to go wrong with the weapon.


Right now the launcher pistol has such INSANE accuracy that even at 64 you still hit with 95% of your shots at full damage, which puts you a bit ahead of the FWG5 who starts dropping damage and accuracy like crazy outside their ideal range.

I actually do much better damage with my FWG5 than my launcher pistol. I sliced both so that they are almost exactly identical, but I always get way more group xp with the FWG5. I've swapped it out maybe 20 or so times and it's at least 100-200 pistol xp difference in the competition for xp in groups. In addition, I can solo much faster with a FWG5 and have 95%+ with both weapons.

I found a launcher pistol that rocks, 48-322 dmg, 2.5 spd (sliced)un-powerupped. With pistol specials it beats the pants off my FWG5, which is about the best one made. This gun is fun to use but makes a real mess on the screen and lags everyone around you, which is kind of uncool.


SOE has recently promised that the xp will be changed from pistol to HW, making this the Commando primary weapon. Not too bad at all, but it kind of encourages Commandoes to get the advanced pistoleer profession.
