anyone ever play diablo II? (yah, i know.... but hear me out)
there was a special attack for paladins where they would beat someone with their shield instead of their weapon, and all shields had a mod on it for how much damage it would do with that specific attack.
though it would be very difficult to code and impliment, pistols should have had a similar principle implimented from the beginning with a kinetic damage type for most of them as well.
rifles should get something similar when they get their melee-range attack.

PMD is a ranged attack, with a max range of 7m, just like saberthrow is a melee attack with a range of 32m. You will also notice that the dmg done by PMD is based on the dmg type of the gun, wipping with a DX2 gives you acid dmg. By all rights it should be knetic. The move is called Pistol Melee Defense, not Pistol Melee Attack. Meaning it is a defense against melee attackers, not a melee attack in and of itself.

the range is 10m btw

Those guys only con green so that they give next to no faction/experience, but they are really much higher level. In MMORPGs it's called an "undercon." Devs do it when they want an NPC to be attackable, but don't want anyone to bother to kill it. The mobs are uber, but it tricks the system into thinking they con green so you don't get much reward.

It's also very, very annoying.

Especially when the undercons are hostile.

Usually in EQ we would get much higher level, come back, and camp those @$%!* spawns out of spite.

At least I would.

PMD1 gets blocked by saberblock. That's my only complaint about it.

Works just fine on the things I've tried, standard missions on Corellia and Dantoine. Oddly tho, it's rare to get more than one KD, usually the first or second attempt works, after this it's not unlikely it takes 10+ attempts. I guess that's a sort of balancing thing, wouldn't be fair just to keep them knocked down.

Make a simple post and learn something new. Thanks I'd better stop bashing those poor creatures too often.
