The best thing to do would be to give BHs their own weapon mods.

Until BH is separated from pistols & carbines all 3 professions will suffer power-wise for fear of overpowered stacked templates.

Ok the fact is what at this point has made pistols weak is not there being two classes that use them seeing there is hard caps on both speed and accuracy. Ap is what relly screws over pistols. Think back to november you had little chance in pvp with a rifle. You know y buffs and armor were not so prevelent. So riflemen could spam there attacks but if they did they were out of mind in seconds. And in pve most classes couldnt claim the ability to solo krayts. So do you know what the devs do they up defence ALOT then more players start buffing. Then they hand out mitigation and fix chefs all the sudden almost anyone could solo almost anything. So the devs go hmmmm **edit** we messed the game up they increase mob ham and Ar the make all high end content pointless for any class that used pistol or carbine.

Even if pistoleers could hit the speed cap with any special and did 4k dmg to a non kded enemy you would still be worthless in pve because mobs worth killing have 100k ham and ar3 so when u shot them they are like look im f*cking superman just lay down its not bh bringing pistoleers down its just to much defence in a game were offence is supposed to be your best defence **(end rant)**

anyway if they gave u the ability to hit the speed cap and have accuracy at the cap then you took bh there would be NO change to your battle skills other than the addition of specials so what the hell y dont they give you +90 speed and +125 accuracy not like it would change game dynamics AT ALL

Even with BH pistols + Master Pistoleer, I didn't stand a chance against a defense stacking rifleman. I couldn't hit him often at all, or make a dent in his HAM with any of my pistols. I was able to hit him well with Pistol melee defense, but that did even less then my other moves because of the melee defense he had, and when I did get close enough to make him a little inaccurate, he'd just whip out a dizzy/knockdown and start shooting me from afar again.
