Thread: Question about Pistol Types
There is also a mod republic for rebels coming(got a nice DOT but same stats)
Once you are about1 or 2 on the speed skills get rid of the Scout it a waste of time.

I've got a DL-44 (energy) 70-199 damage, 2.0 speed
A tangle (stun, and pretty much just for composite wearers) 80-130 damage, 3.1 speed
and a DX2 (acid, I'm novice pistoleer and it's been decent in PvP for me) 125 - 200 damage, 2.2 speed
They aren't excellent but they're definately better than most other pistols of the same type that I've seen...of course there are the few that I see hanging on people's walls that do insane damage (for a pistol),...or they'll be for sale and just be extremely expensive
You should not that I'd already mentioned the Tangle and DX2 and was refering to other pistols that I hadn't mentioned, the D18, the DL44, the DL44 metal, Power5 and SR Combat are all pretty poor compaired (on my galaxy at least) to the Scouts and republics which do mostly the same types of damage.
Personally Ive got a krayt enhanced scout, but I still carry a republic blaster, a FWG5, a DX2, a tangle and a striker. Its about the right gun at the right time.
The point stands though, the right gun at the right time.
Take a good long look at yer guns, get to know a good weaponsmith. Every gun has it's time and place, it's up to you to find them.
AKAIK only the SG-whatever (rifle) uses cold damage.

Theres a stun (the Tangle) and a kenetic (Striker) but both of these are nothing to write home about. The DX2 is acid, the FWG5 is heat and the scout blaster and republic blaster are energy. None of the others are really worth bothering about.
There are 2 new guns coming in the next publish (I think), the featherweith FWG5 with some skill mods and much the same stats as the FWG5 (at least as the ones on my galaxy) and another stun weapon that looks like it could be better than the Tangle.
Theres no cold based pistol at the moment, in fact the only cold weapon I know about is the SG82 rifle which has a cert in the Marksman rifle tree.

My metal DL44 tops out at 408 max dam powered up, with a 1.4 speed rating. Nuthin to sneeze at and only 1 tissue was needed.

By tissue, I'm guessing you meant krayt tissue, but the sneeze thing and tissue was a good coincidence
