Gunslinger Perk - Yes or No?

- Start date
Personally, i don't see why you just didn't bring this question up in your other thread. Sure it's huge, but you could just edit your first post and ask for opinions on a name and even make a post near the end so people following the thread would know too.
As it stands since pretty much 75% of people think gunslinger was an alright name, this thread was pretty much a waste of time.
i woulda just stuck with the big thread, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

I don't think it'd work like this one is. Despite the fact that this one did get half derailed.
While I can edit the OP, I can't edit the Poll. These polls will give the info people want/need much faster and much more accurately.
And I started with the "Name" because it's the most important. I just can't go assuming most want Gunslinger, I have to be sure they do.
Hence the purpose of this thread.
Now I have to wait and see what happens to the original thread. Tryin' to get it open again.

Well, the poll here has spoken so I guess this one can be deleted and we ask to reopen the main thread?

Since the vast majority in this thread voted gunslinger, it would be probably the way to go to just lock/delete this one and reopen the original thread.

Meh I don't mind Pistoleer, at least it is accurate and easy to pick out its purpose. A Pistoleer is a soldier who is issued with a pistol.

I dislike Gunslinger, for 2 reasons. 1) it sounds a little corny, and 2) it is technically inaccurate. A gunslinger by definition is a professional killer who wields a gun, not necessarily a pistol.

Dualist I remember seeing someone suggest ages ago and acutally thought it was a decent name. I googled it and acutally found out that a dualist is someone who believes in 2 absolutes of good and evil xD
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=define:dualist&btnG=Search&meta=
I actually meant a duelist, who quite simply is someone who fights duels. And of course duels are usually fought with either rapiers, or pistols

Overall, I'm not too picky, but of the lot I disagree with gunslinger the most. It just doesn't imply pistols. I personally think of a winchester when I think of a gunslinger.
Sadly it seems the mob has spoken.

I prefer "Gunslinger" because whenever I see a character from books/movies/games being called a "Gunslinger" he always uses only handguns. Most often revolvers, but there are the semi-automatic pistols as well.
Examples:
Devil May Cry - One of Dante's style is "Gunslinger", in which he excells with his ranged weaponry - one of which is dual pistols (Ebony and Ivory)
The series "The Dark Tower", by Stephen King - awesome book series whose main character (and the first book) is initially called "The Gunslinger". He has two revolvers.
So for me, the word "Gunslinger" implies someone who only uses handguns. While this may be wrong, I just can't take it off my head

To be fair it's probably just me being absurdly ****
EDIT: Ok that word is masked, but it is canal - c. The only reason I say that is cause I'm using it in a non offensive way that is in the lingo of our old psychological friend Siggy Freud. Hopefully no infractions

How does that obscure early renaissance term supposedly fit into the theme of present warfare more then a wild west term?I actually meant a duelist, who quite simply is someone who fights duels. And of course duels are usually fought with either rapiers, or pistols
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=define:duelist&btnG=Search&meta=
You might as well call the sharpshooter a musketeer and the berserker a knight then.
Plus while not really fitting in itself, everyone can kinda picture that a "gunslinger" probably uses pistols but "duelist" isn't even half as descriptive.
All it makes me think of is yugioh. Yeh, I summon my pink eyes blue dragon, whatcha gonna do mr fleshpound?
Punch me? ...oh wait.

I am all for calling the medic the paladin. (SS then becomes assassin, Support becomes wizard, Commando fighter,...)

Gunslinger Perk - The Weapons
Gunslinger Perk - The Weapons
Since over 70% of the voters wanted the perk to be named "Gunslinger", then it will remain that way.
Now, we'll vote for his weaponry.
Which "loadout" would you rather have?
The Revolver:
Powerful, big hitter. Meant to use on Scrake and above. Slow firing rate, powerful bullet, long reload. You could somewhat compare it to the crossbow, though less damaging and more versatile. Can't be dual wielded.
The Automatics:
Weak (as in, MP7 weak) with fast firing rate. Would encroach on 9mm's territory. It's kind of like a bullpup. Can be dual wielded.
The "Buff":
Some people think the handcannons are powerful enough to be a third tier. This option offers you the opportunity to buff them, making them capable of killing pretty much anything that stands in your way, though it won't be M14-like. With less ammo per mag, and less overall ammo, you won't want to do it.

Awesome merge is awesome. Well, we know that the majority of people like the GS perk, but I think weapons is a really hard one.
I've always wanted a big sexy magnum revolver in KF but a pair of automatics (like MACs) will be hilarious.
Despite the fact that I would love to try them out, I think that automatics will be a bit redundant because the 9mm kind of does a similar job.
I vote for a wood-finish Revolver.

They aren't.
But the revolver would allow the gunslinger to stand a better chance than most other perks (losing to sharpshooter, of course, and perhaps demolitions depending on the situation)

If any machine pistol, the Mac-11 machine pistol. It's already been modeled and (correct me if i'm wrong) animated. It's already half-way to being put into KF.
