The Bryar Pistol YES!

I hate DX2s.

DX2s i hate.

Hate i DX2s.

the ones from Jedi Kinght and KotOR

some kind of disruptor pistol which has a ranged DB with an animation of the whole atomizing thing, but that's wishful thinking,

heavy blaster, Master DX2,

everything form http://www.galacticholonet.com/weapons_index.html

and the westar-34 for BH's

bah, knight, jedi knight, with the n before the i

i previewed that and everythign lol

the hell is up with everyone wanting duel wield. that would be kickass i admit, but still. it would make us uber to anyone else. think of a master gunfighter wielding 2 RBs that are like 70-270 spammin out stoppinshots. ok that is a 1 man army right there. i dont care what your proffession is you cannot beat that unless your a rifleman and the dude is on a muon downer.

new pistols. BAH. make the DX2 like the Republic blaster and it will be more fun.

Just to be a downer I have to point out that the Bryar isn't a pistol. Kyle Katarn's infamous Bryar was actually a rifle that he modified.

Just my 2 creds.

In my opinion, dual pistols wouldn't make pistoleers too powerful if it came with penalties...If they do give us dual pistols, this is how I think they should be:

-Increased attack rate at the cost ofless accuracy. ( The increased rate of fire is because once you fire one gun, you can start firing from the other gun, so the firing rate for each individual gun remains the same).

-Specials can only be used with the primary gun, which I think is the right handed one...the other gun just fires normal shots, and cannot fire specials

-Ability to select another target to auto attack as you focus on another enemy with your main gun (similar to Star Wars: Bounty Hunter)

For suggestions about new pistols that can be put in the game, aside from what was stated earlier...

I thought the gun Leia used in Return of the Jedi looked pretty cool...

And a suggestion for another rifle is the one Luke had with him in A New Hope

And a carbine could be the one Boba Fett uses...Unless that is in the game already...but I don't think so...

(I don't know the names of these, and don't feel like searching for them, so please excuse that )

Whoa...the Bryar Kyle used was a gun? And all this time I thought it was just a candy dispenser that he bonked people over the head with...

Actually, it was only Jango that had the duals, unless Boba had them sometime after Ep 6 or something...but just because Bounty Hunters are the only ones seen using them in the movies doesn't mean that they are the only ones that can use them

Anyone still have that link to the pic of Dash Rengar's pistol? Love for the devs to grab a look at that one again, it's just that sweet.

Also, as per the SW Encyclopedia, the DX2 is supposed to be a disruptor. The devs fubbed that one up (but it was still an energy weapon, so I'm glad for the acid dmg):

DX-2
this was the designation of a disruptor pistol produced by the Tenloss Syndicate during the New Order. Like other disruptor weapons, the DX-2 fired an energy blast that caused the target's molecules to become excited and lose cohesion, leading to the utter annihiliation of the target. This disintegrative affect made them illegal in most parts of the galaxy, but Tenloss managed to continue to produce them for many decades

I'm pretty sure that TH's comment regarding the "oops drop" of the Nightsister 2handed sword a few weeks back stated that the weapon wasn't supposed to be in the game yet as loot, but was schedualed to show up as one of the new craftables with the weapon upgarde patch.

So there is hope soon on the horizon.

And for holsters, we have 17 tailor made belts, add a holster to to some of 'em. They don't have to actually house a weapon, but boy it would add tons of atmosphere to the game in we at least looked like a "Gunslinger".

Dual wield, well I want it, but at this stage of balancing within the game it would have to be cosmetic at best for there are more important pistoleer issues with our current shots. DISARMSHOT!! I want to knock that gun into last week's inventory! No condition damage needed, just it's a classicability of theepic gunslingers of lore and would make perhaps one of the most valuable moves we could provide. We bleed (as do others), but we don't offer any other status effects to a mob in group combat. To disarm the big boss NPC/ faction player during an encounter would make the presence of a master pistoleer a needed role in any battle.

Yes the DX2 is a Disrupter Pistol, but heres Something Odd:

The Malaxan Firepower Inc. FWG-5 flechette pistol is a typical handheld flechette launcher.

Lol, nice.

Here's one for the BH's:

Scattergun
this old form of weapon uses expanding gas as its propellant. Pellets of stone or metal are loaded into a chamber, and are expelled at high velocity by the release of a certain amount of the expanding gas
