Add a secondary pistol

[Th3blur22]

I know there have been other threads mentioning this but I want to focus on it. And idk if he was already going to impliment this so don't bash about that.

I think a pistol would be a great addition to aos, its an awkward moment when you run out of ammo with your primary and an enemy pops out in front of you. It would be nice to have something to fall back on in emergency situations. It shouldnt be too powerful but enough to compete with a weakened enemy. Maybe attributes similar to the semi but a 2 shot kill headshot and a 3 shot body shot, with slightly less recoil and inaccuracy at long range. A pistol would add a ton more costomization options for gun skin makers also. Is this a good Idea?

I absolutaly agree, (maybe not with the stats, but definitely the concept).
Sadly i know much of the community will hate this, plus you'll probably get a Gorman rant on bad ammo management. Anyway, them no believers should learn that pistols would be awesome.

[Th3blur22]

Yeah, it would do much to improve the enjoyability of aos, but it needs to be sligtly weaker than the other weapons, and only close range, but we can leave that to the aos team :D

Maybe more than slightly

> The awkward moment when you die because you have poor ammo management

Manage your ammo better, adding a sidearm is not the solution.
If you keep getting shot in the head do you suggest headshots be removed? Ok, some people do, but the better solution is just to use cover better.
As usual the solution is to practice. Reload whenever you are safe, and when you are about to reload move to a safe place. Don't reload in the middle of a flat area with no cover - heck, never ever go in to a place like that in the first place! Stay safe and don't expect to beat any enemy who surprises you with a main weapon when you have a sidearm - thus the suggestion is more or less useless even in that very specific situation that no player should ever get in to.

Besides that, your suggested weapon stats are crazy imbalanced. But like I said it doesn't matter because unless the pistol is as strong as a main weapon it is useless, and that sure as hell is not going to happen.

Gorman,

If I may have my say in the matter, I think a pistol would be a great addition to the shotgun "class". At a long range, sometimes the shotgun can be great. However, 90% of the time, even medium range is a problem!

I do believe a pistol will settle this dispute once and for all, and make them on-par with other weapons!

You just try and stop me from doing what I love :c

It's true, though. If you die because you were reloading, it's your fault, and you should learn to play better. Not that I wouldn't die because of a stupid reload all the time, but at least I know what to blame. Also, why would a pistol's effective range exceed the shotgun's one?

Moved to suggestions with a shadow thread left in place.

Pistol as primary GODDAMNIT
PISTOL AS PRIMARY!
So yeh, to explain, have a M1911A1 as secondary, and a revolver/desert eagle/double pistols as primary.

I will happily kill you when you reload in the open ;D If only I could hit you when you use your dodge-fu...
