but yes it does benfit from our skills. You can use pistoleer skills and the pistol speed and accuracy is used with it.

All pistol specials, mods, and defenseswork with the launcher pistol, but all xp gained is heavy weapons.

And BH pistols skills work too
Eyeshot with a launcher is really cool
The Lag Pistol is fun

Yes, all pistol specials work with it (pistoleer, smuggler, and BH specials) and it's great against lairs with Stopping Shot.
You will receive all pistol speed and accuracy bonuses as normal. Youwon't get pistol xp with it, but sometimes it's still the right tool for the job.

Launcher pistol indeed works with pistol specials and mods, and when using the LP you get both heavy weapon and pistol xp though very minimal pistol xp (maybe 1% of heavy weapon xp).
And amen to lastditch vs turrets using LP, it's insane. I am master smuggler, novice commando, BH 0040 and novice pistoleer and still dabbling for which to stick with and I was previously BH 0040 pistoler 0043 commando 0040 smuggler 0140.

Hello again,
Nother quick commando question here. I am a dabbler in many professions, and picked up novice commando solely to get access to the launcher pistol. I have novice Pistoleer, the techniques Pistol Line, the BH pistol Line, and the Smuggler pistol Line.
My understanding was that mob lairs were weak to blast damage. So I grab a couple of missions, and finish off the baddies around the lair. When I start blasting the lair with my newly acquired weapon, all I can say is I was dissapointed. I'm running a 65-255 damage launcher pistol. Currently my scatter pistol from BH does more damage to lairs.
I guess my question is this. Am I doing something wrong, or are lairs not really vulnerable to blast damage? Is there any other possible reason to use the launcher pistol, other than against at-st's and turrets (which I have never done, and probably won't ever do)?
Figure if there's no pro to using this, I can just drop it and put the SP to use somewhere else.
thank you

LOL its makes a pretty fire show... eeeewwwwhhh the lights. I'd say play around with it for awhile and if you don't like it drop it. Since you have the BH pistol line its kinda hard to beat the scatter pistol.
