Im the proud owner of a couple of these. Now clearly they need some 100+ Krayt to go with them but...what pistol would you make with these and why. Im tempted to wait until the rebalance....as far as I can tell Im making me 2 0.0 speed pistols here 
which one would hope may attract some attention (especially to the smuggling community).

I think Stettin on our server used some exceptional krayt tissues and made a couple 0.0 scatters or fwg5s (can't remember which). Dont remember the slices though.

I've never played with DE-10s but you need a special barrel right? Thats too bad if true because the speed on the DE-10 is the worst part. As it is right now, it wouldn't really help pistols too much. Its not very hard to speed cap pistols (Doesn't take as many skill tapes as carbineer to speed cap for example). I'd save it to see what the combat revamp does to speed.

Depends. Are they projectile or blaster pistol barrels.

I wish you luck with these. A player on our server brought me some -5.0 speed projectile pistol barrels and some high-end krayt tissue, wanting to make a 0.0 scatter. We should have been able to do it with those stats.
However, the assembled weapon was 4.0 speed. To add insult to injury, experimentation on damage DID NOT LOWER the speed of the finished weapon. Why this occurred, no one can explain. The CSR who responded to his ticket was less than helpful (shocking, I know) and in the end, we simply decided that the barrels were bugged and there was little we could do.
Hopefully your end result doesn't have this problem. It was a very frustrating experience for us. =(

seeing as how most pistols are extremely fast anyways, I would have to say your best bet is a genosian toget timer down for the specials. do they have any decent damage mods? and with what that other guy was saying about them being bugged, maybe sure you make the "worse" of the two weapons first imho so if it does die on you, you still have the better of the tissue left.

I have made a couple 0.2 scatters before with nice barrels and incredible krayt tissue on my server...however anything under 1.0 is a moot point as 1.0 is the cap regardless of what the stats say, i have heard of all sorts of issues with sort of thing, not the least some jerks on my server who accused me of double slicing themon the forums cause they didn't know this sort of thing existed...bottom line...it's a ways off but personally I would wait till the balance comes...

I made several scatters (screenies in my website listed in my sig).
They were made using some -1.8 speed krayt tissues (prenerf). I also made a couple post nerf scatters with similar results using some exceptional projectile pistol barrels (-2.8 speed or something).
I would say a Krayted Geonician Sonic Blaster would be the best application of those barrels, or possibly a very nice DX2.
-edit-
I would also like to say that I did several pvp tests with some of the 0.0 guns vs a similar damage 1.0 speed pistol. Specials with multipliers fired faster on the 0.0 gun than the 1.0. I don't have screenshots for proof, but there _is_ a difference no matter what the 1.0 cap stats.

They are in the storage shed until one of two things happen.
I can buy a geo pistol schematic for less than 8 trillion cedits or the combat rebalance. Both seem a long ways away.
