I see why you all like the pistol,and i now agree yes it does take some skill to use if you know how, but you can't say the shotgun doesn't take skill on Blood Gulch? Personally i use sniper and shotgun, and i just think the pistol is no FUN. I can't stand it when im being shot at by someone 'skillfully' using the pistol, when they are hiding and shooting people. And unlike the sniper,and most other guns, you can't see where the bullets are coming from.
I can see your point, and I do think that the shotgun takes skill to a degree, but the pistol is a great weapon. It is not unfair, anybody can get to it. Most of the times, you spawn with it. If you think the pistol is unfair, it isn't. It's supposed to be a good weapon that can turn the tide of the battle. You can use it too, if you haven't noticed. Don't think "giving in" to use the pistol is a dirty concept. It's a good, balanced weapon which you should use yourself. I use the shotgun and sniper rifle as well, but I could never own so many people without my trusty pistol.
And so what if you can't see where the bullets are coming from? You're complaining about something that should probably be so. Halo PC would be quite ridiculous if every single shot fired in the game left a giant trail which all can see. That's the risk you take when you use the sniper rifle, because a good player will know where your shots came from.
