Actually, this discussion is right where it needs to be. In the same way that a race car driver ought to knowthe in's and out's of his outomobile, I think a combat profession ought to know about what his weapons are made of. I am a master WS and I agree....the single greatest advantage of the scatter over the DX2 is the single krayt tissue aspect. If you get 5 +100 damagetissues, you can make one DX2 or 5 scatters (All with near identical stats). Obviously you are going to want a good damage sliceand your odds are better if you get 5 pistols sliced instead of the one. If you have a WS friend, these scatters can be made with your tissues and a minimum of credits.

oh, and to answer your question, pistoleers cant use the blaster pistol because it's a heavy weapon. true it uses pistol specials and mods, but it gives heavy weapon xp. secondly, the scatter was originally designed to be for use against jedi as the multiple bolts were supposed to help bypass saber blocking. since it's a jedi hunting weapon, the bounty hunters get it.

to bad the scatter doesnt help with dealing against saber blocks.

if you are jedi and you complain, i have one question for you. how many remember permadeth, kenetic damage lightsabers, and lightsaber TEFs?

Huh, that never would have occurred to me! Now you've got me picturing a Jedi trying to block a plain old shotgun blast (a scatter striker pistol?) with his saber...
