It could kill on its own. You could even dual wield it.Again it was outdone at every range, and it's because of duel wielding that the gun sucks. Bungie pretty much had to cut the power of duel wield weapons in half making them useless on their own.
On the other hand, you need to realize - and I do hate to state the obvious - it's a pistol. You really shouldn't be charging the guy going on a roid rage with a bigass machine gun or semiauto with a pistol. It's best for ambushes, or mopping up that last man standing after a firefight.It's a video game, it doesn't have to make sense. People who say the pistol shouldn't be powerful simply just because it's a pistol doesn't make sense. If I replaced the CE pistol with a rifle with the exact same stats would you still complain? After all it's a rifle it's suppose to have long range capabilities with more stopping power than a pistol. The CE pistol was simply a rifle with a pistol skin.
Although you have a point, it could use a bit of a buff, to put it on slightly more equal footing with the other guns.Agreed.
The .357 Magnum round from a revolver hits harder than the 5.56x45mm round shot from an assault rifle within the revolver's range. The 5.56x45mm round is the ammunition for the main rifle of the U.S. military. The 5.56x45mm round is criticized as being very weak, but that's because it was developed to be cheap to make, easy to shoot (small, not very powerful, easy recoil), and extremely accurate at long ranges while most handgun ammunition is designed to hit hard at short-to-mid range, put the enemy down quickly, and to be reasonably accurate within short-to-mid range. The Magnum being more powerful than, say: the DMR, within a certain distance, isn't far fetched.
