I've only read the main post, and I must say that I'm impressed. Good points with plenty of evidence to back it up. I give you props!



Don't you love how a Bounty Hunter can hit someone in the eye at 64 meters away while doing backflips, on a foggy night, through a wall, while afk? Yup, seems balanced to me ...

Just want to say one thing on the accuracy issue...


I have an average speedPistol (2.3)and I still usually stack an Aim before any shot from more than 30m out. This easily resolves any accuracy discrepancy between Rifles and Pistols, and I still fireabout2.5Aim/Bodyshot2 combos in the same it takes to fire 1 Headshot2 from my Laser Rifle (6.5). There is no noticable accuracy difference between Pistols and Rifles from 60m out as long as I stack an Aim before each shot (adds like maybe .5 speed to my Pistol's fire time) and I actually hit more often with my Pistol, especially on the move (which I usually am).


If you are having any trouble with Pistol accuracy at range, usingAim (first box of Marksman combat tree) will solve all your problems while still giving you an increase in DPS and speed over Rifle without that death-dealing 2.5x melee damage. Currently the superior speed of Pistol gives it the edge over Rifle until you hit Master Rifleman (but good luck getting there
