Launcher pistol. You can use all of your pistol specials from the marksman tree and you get heavy weapons xp for using it.

Well I dont know what your hunting...
I can use launcher and get easily 500 exp minimum...
Or I can use flamethrower wit overcharge shot and miss a few times but get 5000 damage...
Its easy you just need to know what to hunt

I earned 50k heavy weapons xp in half an hout today. The trick seems to be voritor missions on dantooine (bring good armor, cause these things are evil) and you should prolly have a pet too (doesnt matter if the pet is very trong, cause if you use overcharge shot, the voritors wont live long). Funny how its so much harder to get to Novice Commando than it is to level up the commando tree... :/

As always, the corner stones for leveling are
- Get buffed
- At least wear ubese armor, around 70% kinetic resist
- Get a good weapon and get it sliced
A good standard Launcher pistol are about 68-210 2.7 or so. These can be enchanced with looted feed mechanism that adds another 20 max damage. You do wanna pick up at least Novice Pistoleer for the time being so you get healthshot2 which should be valuable while getting XP.
You shoudl use the LP only and level to 0030... thats the flamethrower branch. At this point you can start using the Flame Thrower. xx3x gives you good speed and accurcy.
Try to find monster with low blast resists. Try to hunt on the advanced planets. I'm not sure what's best.

If you have some good pistol skill use the launcher on janta's on dant they are vulnerable to this i believe, also have to say the launcher pistol is officially my favourite weapon in the game.
I would still recommend getting a flamer aswell no commando is complete without a full kit, I have everything which im certified to use, yes even the HAR, in my backpack so i have a tool for every occassion.

I was a speedcapped pistoleer when I started levelling commando, with a 370max damage LP (well...one 370 and one 360 as the first one was dead really fast), I got novice to master in appr. 5 hours(maybe a bit less), fanshotting away at some rebel bases (got real nice FP too lol)

Farm bases if you can. Of course that might be kind of hard until you get flamecone1, and you would only want to fight about 4 or 5 at a time. Nice thing about about rebels is very few have anymore than 10% resists to anything.
