well to make good in pvp you indeed need to use all your tricks, being pistoleers gives you big arsenal of damage type guns, with diffrent damage type and armor piercing. and different speeds and damage outputs. with high pistol speed as master pistoleer (74+ pistol speed) we can fire most pistols very close to the cap (1s) but its very important to pick the right gun for your target. by the type of armor, and by experienced guess.
Guns - Pistols and their - damage type, AP, speed, and damage:
Fwg5 Pistol- Heat damage AP0 -Great speed,Great damage - around 50-200 2.0s- good for unarmored, and ubese armor, not good for composite or mabari armorweavearmor. (with goodfang and slice 80-260 1.5s)
Scout Blaster - energy damage AP0 - Great speed, medium damage - around 50-160 1.5s good for unarmored, not good for all alse (since all armors have energy resistance of some massure) (with good damage and slice 90-280 1.4s)
Striker Pistol - Kinetic damage AP0 - medium speed, low damage - around 60-120 2.5s very good for anthing that has low kinetic resistance (pve mostly) not good vs composite or ubese. (with good fang and slice 80-200 2.0s)
Tangle Pistol - Stun Damage AP0 - low speed, low damage - around 50-100 2.5s - very good vs armor, not good vs unarmored (since the low speed and dmg) (with good fang and slice70-150 2.0s)
Sonic Blaster - Stun Damage AP0 - low Speed,great damage - around 100-200 2.8s very good vs armor, and unarmored, not good only vs advanced composite with stun layer!. (with good 5xtissue and slice 170-412 2.4s)
Republic blaster - Energy Damage AP1 - low speed,Great Damage - around 80-200 2.7s - very good vs armored and unarmored. good pick of weapon! (with good 3x tissue and slice 110-300 2.4s)
Dx2 Pistol - Acid Damage AP1 - low speed, medium damage - around 100-160 2.7s - very good vs armored and unarmored. good pick of weapon!. (with good 5x tissues and slice 180-250 2.4s)
all these guns are unsliced and not enhanced (i added enhanced and sliced stats in brackets), so there is alot you can add to them, with krayt tissue you will add to your max damage and lower your speed, and with a good slice you can ether add damage or lower your speed.
tissue = krayt tissue (goes into the Power handler) and fang = spider fang (goes into the ammo feeding mechanism) after the great pistol nerf, there is no pistol that can be made today with both power handler and feed mech.
***the stats of sliced and tissue is from pistols i have seen with my own eyes, used, and or made! so there can be better i'm sure.
