I was wondering if anyone can tell me what is a good high level pistol to use?
I have Novice Pistoleer as well as Novice Bounty Hunter. I want to know what is best between a Republic or a Scatter or if there is something better. Also if someone could list stats for a good one as I have no idea what they would be and I want to buy a good one (stats like min/max dam., speed, accuracy, etc.).
Also if someone could tell me when I am able to use a Modified Republic that would be great.
Thank you

Oops sorry forgot to add the DE-10 and Geo.
When do you get and what are good stats?
Thank you again

A scatter will probably be better, especially if you eventually cap your speed, but a geo pistol might be better than either one depending on what you're fighting.
I carry a geo, FWG5, and republic blaster. The geo is my main gun because it does a lot of damage and the stun gets through many things, but the republic blaster has a nice DoT and longer range. The FWG5 is for those mobs that are weak against heat and resist energy or stun. Pistoleer is one profession where it's a good idea to keep a variety of weapons.

I am not in game at the moment, so I am not 100% sure on stats but usually I carry the following.
Krayt DE-10
220-389 DMG
3.8 sec speed
Pre-Nerf Krayt FWG5
87-280 DMG
1.6 sec speed
35% DMG Sliced (Ranc Enhanced perhaps..) Mod. Republic Blaster
?min?-302 DMG
2.1 sec speed
Looted Geonosian Pistol
100-192 DMG
1.9 sec speed
Joe-Schmo DX2
?min?-196 DMG
2.1 sec speed
I believe that most of these guns would be considered fairly good stats, nothing really ub3r, but most of them are very effective at times.
At Novice, I recommend buying a Mod. Republic with around 202 max dmg and 2.1 speed unsliced, then get it sliced by a master smuggler. Anda DX2 around 160 unsliced and get it sliced too. I have never handled a scattler, but I am pretty sure that their stats are similar to a Republic, but Acid dmg.. I would get one of those too. FWG5s arent that great unless pre-nerf (pre-nerf = when they could still be krayt enhanced). Geonosian pistols will be good in PvP at the moment, but are expensive, you can use them at Techniques 2. I believe you can use a Mod. rep blaster at pistol speciality 3 in marksman? isnt that right? Dunno...
Good Luck

This is certainly good advice I am getting.
I have this strange problem where it says I don't qualify for the modified republic and yet I am novice pistoleer so I wasn't sure when you could use.

there's a theory that it's actually certed at pistol grips II and the description is just wrong...... go with the regular republic blaster for now until you're certed for the modified one

If you don't have a lot of cash it might be worth it to get a smuggler shopping with you...
Just buy weapon, give gun to smugg..have him slice it and repeat ontill you get a nice 30%+ damage slice (as you got BH speed).
A lot cheaper than the millions needed for nice guns...
For reference, my pistols:
Krayt DX2: 1.5 120-272 (wookie killer)
Krayt Geo. 1.8 161-474 ( my bread and butter in PvP when it comes to pistols)
Rep.Blaster: 2.2 99-399
Al with pup...got some more, but these are the best...
My fwg is 289 max with pup (give or take)

The bottom line is that you'll probably want at least one of everything, and two geos. One lower level looted for grinding and general PvE, and a crafted one for PvP.
Most pistols we get have a different damage type, so they're all useful in different situations.

i use a mod republic, fwg5 (pre-nerf but not krayt), krayt dx2, tangle (need to get a geo).
with the exception of battle droids and nightsister elders, i can pretty much handle any situation.
i need to get a good kinetic pistol (striker right?). anyone know where on eclipse to get a good one?
i do wish pistoleers had a little more damage variety, a cold pistol, a better kinetic or stun pistol, etc. our two most powerful weapons (de-10 and republic) are both ap1 energy, which is kinda redundant. i'm thinking of grabbing novice commando just to get a blast damage pistol so i'm not so useless against high end mobs.
