I like the in-between idea. Having a pistol like the one in Halo 1 would be kinda stupid, it's far too powerful for a handgun. however, the 1.1 patch made the Magnum too weak to be of any use. I like the idea of having the Battle rifle and the Assault rifle in there, Battle rifle for long- to medium-range, Assault rifle for medium- to short-range combat, and a good vehicle killer. The pistol should be only good a close range, but it should be very effective when it is at close range. The pistol should be a low caliber, high velocity weapon. basically, it should do a decent amount of damage at close range, but the small caliber would give it a steeper dropoff and thus, less range, and less power as the range increases. Also the low caliber would make it less effective against vehicles.
