Barricade the doors! The Pistoleers will be here soon!

Hehe the Pistoleer Correspondent and I have an understanding. I got Aldeon in on it too, and I hope klawlegna follows it to. Pistoleers don't try to get rifles nerfed and Rifleman don't try to get pistols nerfed b/c either way I get nerfed. And when I get nerfed, humanoids lose limbs

Rifleman for life. No pets, no spice.
OH NO
someone get a doctor, Lobo needs help real bad! He made the mistake of firing his T-21 and itcaused a massivebrain hemmorage.
I'm hoping that one day thethree elite ranged combat class correspondents could work together to get their weapons fixed (DX2, T21, Elite carbine) and their specific pool shots fixed (HS3, BS3, LS3).

SNL Jeopardy....greatest skits ever. But back to the origninal topic of this message, the accuracy of a pistol at 64 meters is ridiculous....even the best pistoleer in rl couldn't hit but maybe 1 out of 5 times at that range. Not only is a pistol hard to aim, but the length of the barrel makes accuracy incredibly bad (of course I'm talking with bullets and not lasers). But the fact still is, pistols should be a very close range weapon and as horrible at long range. I mean, rifles arent that great up close, but you can still hit things with thm in real life. If a pistol can hit me at 64 meters, why can't I at least shove my rifle into a gubburs throat and pull the triger?It seems way out of whack to me.
nope nothing is out of wack
you need to compare the official stats and look at how many pistol users there are compared to how many riflemen there are

A Pistoleer has a +145 to hit at point blank or at 64 meters. They have a +30 hit accuracy over us at point blank, we have a +30 at 64 meters. I am sorry but you really cant get much more equal.
Absolutely fair if you ask me!
(note those who didn't see the sarcasm in his post.... LART'D)
Really we need to let the game advance more then 1 day before we jump the gun and say this and that is broken and needs a "fixin". Let them have their guns for at least a week to see if it truly does unbalance combat at our ranges before the shout for nerf reigns.
let em have it,
im more concerned about a flame thrower that is +0 at 64 meters, or a llc as ive seen it on both.
i looked at a flamethrower today. Looked pretty average.
500-850 damage 4.8 speed
better than any rifle
