I've been a pistoleer/smuggler (of and on) since launch. Yesterday I noticed I'm now carrying about 12 pistols. THis is pretty foolish since I don't have a clue about vulnerabilities post CU and I always end up firing my ADK'd trando lightning gun. I'm thinking about thinning down my load. What pistols do you carry and why?

Republic Blasters are good. They cap at near 950 max damage and can get a speed as low as 1.73 non-modded. They do energy damage and if made well can have a little extra acid damage on them. When I'm going energy and pistol I use these. Kinetic and pistol it's all about the High Capacity Scatter Pistol but that's a Master Bounty Hunter weapon. Roughly the same caps on speed and damage but easier to craft at higher damages without krayt tissue and such.

You really only need two guns: kinetic and energy. Most pistoleers go with the metal XT and an FWG5. These guns have the highest damage cap and only take one krayt tissue and one gorax shard to enhance, respectively. And thats for PvP. Nothing is vulnerable, or that is to say everything is equally vulnerable to everything; the CU absolutley gutted combat in that regard.
Use your highest damage, lowest SAC gun for PvE.
Use your highest damage, lowest SAC KINETIC gun for PvP in most cases, unless you know your opponent is wearing assault armor and/or no PSG. Even if your kinetic gun isn't as good as your energy gun, it will probably be made up for in the lack of reduction.
I also carry an advanced laser rifle for those (constant) situations that require me to be far from my target, and a czerka dart carbine because it looks cool and I can use it. Lastly, I also carry my DE-10 because it looks boss. I grind with it when I don't need to kill something expertly or quickly.
So in summary: XT for energy, FWG5 for kinetic, DE10 for the hell of it.
