Along the lines of the Thoughts on the HAR.
I think if we're keeping the launcher pistol, I thinnk it should have a knockback effect (the rocket launcher too)
If you're wearing armor, sure it might not rip you into 40,000 little pieces, however it should pick you up, and throw you 400m away from the guy who shot you with it. If you're not wearing a fairly substantial suit of HARD armor I think an animation of it ripping the limbs off the target would make the ensuing nerfs worth while....
sorry, caffeine high, and a long week of work must be getting to me.

do some quick googling on an artillery SABOT round, thats what i think the launcher pistol should be like. a smaller version of that.

I just had an interesting thought;
What if our new weapon is a Launcher Carbine?
Heh, if people think the LP is bad, wait til we start having duels in Coronet with Launcher Carbines!

Actually, for you, wouldn't you need a Launcher Rifle?
Sniper Shot with a Launcher Rifle would be interesting, to say the least.

I don't see them giving rifleman access to blast damage, but if they did,Oh Hell, its over Strafe shot 2 will just be freakin awesome.
Lag kills, and so does Audri <---- Cillian

I always envisioned the launcher pistol as a handgun that shoots a single round at a time. that round splits into multiple fragments that srtike the target, doing slightly less initial damage, but are harder to plock or dodge. as an added touch of commando flair, however, each fragment is explosive tipped, and explodes a brief moment after impact. the resulting damage is determined by the amount of armor worn, and could result in disabled limbs, if not death.

back to the game, and what could actually be done, KD is the most sensible thing. it is afterall a explosion gun. BUT the KD shot should be granted in MASTER commando, to prevent dabblers from getting our knock down.

Hmm, I think that our KD with it should be a sure thing. we can hit anyone with it and knock them down. if only for a secound. but it could only be used once per fight. or mabye just make it really strong, but not a sure thing.
