Hmmm....
Pistoleers should be able to use scatter pistols, since they are pistols.
So BH's should be able to use DX2s right?
BH's have the LLC, which is a heavy weapon isn't it?
Commandos should be able to use the LLC.
So Bounty Hunters should be able to ust the flamethrower, particle cannon, rocket launcher and acid rifle etc.
Speaking of Acid rifle, shouldn't riflemen be able to use those? They ARE rifles aren't they?
And who makes all these weapons anyways? Weaponsmiths of course!
If weaponsmiths built them, they surely should know how to work them....
.............................
Have I made my point clear?

I'm not saying that I want Bh to be better than everything else. If I wanted to be better than everyone I would have been a rifleman. What I am saying is that you have to take skill points into account. For the amount of sp we spend we deserve to have a few unique weapons. Saying that pistoleers should get the scatter cert is like saying they should get the launcher cert as well. Every class has to have some sort of uniqueness. Pistoleers are better at using pistols than a MBH. Maybe you should pick up MBH and find out the difference for yourself. Saying that you should get the scatter cert is like saying you should get the launcher cert as well. Go post that on the commando boards and see what they say.

Im not saying I want your skills taking away yet again I will say it I TOO AM A BH! am I not saying that clearly? Im SAYING that a "Pistol"eer should be able to use one of the best pistols...and for whoever that was being the smartass about to weps Commandos are a Hybrid prof Pistoleers ARENT Riflemen dont get the Acid Rifle because its a Hvy Weapon and the Reason BHs dont get those I dont know but im not even talking about that...and I knew someone would comment on my post about BHs getting better stuff in pistols, but ill say it again im not saying "Take away all the BH pistol skills" im saying "I think 'Pistol'eers should be able to get certified with Scatters so we dont have to Dabble in the BH Pistols line" at least some more mature people are posting now... but it still makes no difference im saying Pistoleers SHOULD be able to have a scatter whether it'll happen or not that I dont know, I dont even know if the Devs even paid attention to this post...

Or, to spice things up a bit - why not add a BH flavor to it by giving pistoleers the cert for the scatter pistol, but at the same time, give bounty hunters a vast assortment of special gadgets and modifications they can apply to any of their weapons to gain effects that help them in combat, such as a snare attatchment to a carbine, or a laser sight to better a pistols accuracy (just random examples.)
I'd think that would make both parties happy and give BH's something unique at the same time to help further differentiate the profession from others (and to help justify the scout requirement - think of being able to apply scout-like traps that work against players to weapons and other mods that help.)
