Hello BH Guild,
I was wondering what kind of pistol should i use to get for pvp and what pistol should i be looking to get for pve? Most of my equiptment is PreCU and not very high on the DPS. Any hints or clues would be helpful.

High Cap Scatters and fw FWG5's are the preferred WS pistols. There are a couple of nice ROTW pistols with high elemental damage - they are pretty nice for killing Jedi because they lead to pretty high minimums.

I would look for a Scatter with Max Damage at 948 and a low SAC 65-70. Then since accuracy is currently broken I would add a speed power up. Currently my scatter does 850 DPS with a good pup.

for me, i will take 390 base dps, no exceptions, at least 360+-960 damage, and the speed doesnt matter as long as it get it to 390 base dps, oh yea, and 70- sac

scatter or fw-fwg-5
Both are coin toss on how well they can be built. (ask you WS which resources he has to use for both weapons... resources make a big differnce so if your WS has the resources for the scatter go there.. if for the fwg go there.... Also scatter uses Cells FW Fwg-5 uses casiings so if you have both cells and casings the ones with the hightest stats would be the weapon i choose to craft)
However, if you are master pistoler MBH the modified rebublic blaster is the best you can get... it is energy but the bonus in elemental will more then make up for a psg (if jedi i wearing one).
(this does take 3 cells though:2 for weaponand 1for schematic)
Alsoany of the 3 shouldbe effective in pve and pvp so you donot have to have a 2 different ones

If you are Master Pistoleer/ Master BH, I would go with either a very good High Capacity Scatter or a very good FW FWG5. I have a FW FWG5 with very good stats, as follows (with no Powerups or slices):
Speed: 1.73
Min Damage: 367
Max Damage: 962
SAC: 65
FW FWG5's also have a +15 accuracy bonus, but since accuracy is currently broken, I would go with a decent speed powerup. I would also get the weapon sliced for damage and critical chance, especially if you have a speed powerup, because then you won't need a speed slice. I forget my base dps, but my modded dps is 580.4. Dps doesn't really matter much. Don't worry about dps when you get your gun, but instead focus on min and max damage, SAC, and speed. There's nothing better than the feeling of hitting a jedi 3 or 4 times while he's KD'd and then nailing him with a bomb droid or something.
I relish the type of fight that lasts less than a minute (but only when I win).
Good luck.

FW has +60 acc +15 pistol acc. Very good for those Defender types (everyone and their mother)
Since when has accuracy been bugged?

The +15 enhancement mod works. Just not the weapon accuracy.

Since forever. The accuracy stat on a weapon doesn't make a difference. The FW FWG5 +15 mod does work though.

accuracy bonus works it just works like this:
If you accuracy is higher then defenders defense you get a bonus
If you accuracy is lower you don't get a bonus...
So for jedi.... no bonus....
But you will see the bonus in pve
