At the longest range of the pistol, (which I found is about how far away the teleport destinations of Blood Gulch are,) is the lead about the outer ring of the aimer?

The lead on any weapon depends almost completely on your connection online. The lead itself on the pistol without lag would be about at the edge of the reticle at maximum range, but the bullet could hit anywhere in that reticle, so I wouldn't count on being extremely accurate from that far away.

Yeah... from far away, I couldn't snipe a Jackal to death with the pistol. Wouldn't even hit the Jackal... Save the pistol for close and medium range sniping.

The pistol's range is 126 meters. How much you need to lead depends on your connection. Your best bet is to experiment with different leading distances and listen for the little hit beep (which lets you know the server registered the hit). If you're hearing the beep when you lead by an inch, then that's how much you need to lead.

The pistol is actually very accurate if you don't hold down the trigger. Click once for each shot and the shot spread will be very small.

Heh, so what's the logic behind the 126m limit? =P The bullet just suddenly burns up in Earth's - er - Halo's atmosphere?

Secrets? lol this is no secret but if you hit the head you can kill the opponent in 3 shots

Back on topic, how much you lead depends on your ping, so make sure to check your ping by pressing and holding f1

how fast the person is moving can also affect the lead, if they are jumping straffing sideways, or backpedaling all afftect the lead too but the conncetion is prolly the biggest. as for range i have found that from the cliff in blood gulch overlooking the blue base the pistol can kill in five shots with a fair amount of accuracy, but thats about as far away as ive ever been able to kill someone with a pistol. my best adice to getting better with the pistol is to simply practice, thats the only way you'll ever figure it out.
