This is purely a wish/concept idea, but what I would like to see is a situational pistol or two.

Example, rifles are generally hard hitting and slow - but they have an alternative in the "spraystick" if they really want a faster, lower damage rifle.

All pistols are currently low damage, fast little buggers...what I would like to see is a .44 Magnum of blasters - Some nice big hefty DL44 with extended barrel, oversized muzzle looking hand-cannon.

Ideally it would be freakin slow - base speed around a 5.0-6.0 with a correspondingly high base damage and preferably a decent armor penetration.

What do people think?

(Oh yeah and make it PB range focused - maybe 48m max range, base stats around +0/5m -20/24m -100/48m?)

If we had a gun like this, the Riflemen would still own us all day long since they can shoot thier "heavy hitters" at the speed cap or close to it.

True, but this is a step foward. Personally, I think every profession should have 'bout 10-15 weapons. Well, for Commandos and Bounty Hunters,I don't know. But, get rid of the flame thrower, this is Star Wars, give 'em a repeating blaster, and move the flamer over toa BH weapon in place of the llc. But, this game is progressivelly getting better, so it seems.

I'm not really concerned with speed caps - I realize it is a huge issue now, but hopefully with the combat revamp it won't be. Weapon diversity is a completely different topic - I'd like to have some options - amazingly I think ALL combat professions should have some choices.

I have no problem with pistoleer being predominantly light-fast weapons, but I don't want that to be the ONLY possible choice any more than I want the only rifle option to be speed 8, muzzle-loading, mini-cannons that shoot through walls.

Magnum of blasters eh? Sounds like the perfect place to implement the Bryar Pistol.
