For sharpshooter, give players access to laser sights on dual 9mms and dual handcannons.

With this, the dilemma between ironsights and dual pistols would be erased and dual pistols would be useful for something other than spamming big bads.

A simple concept is: make it something that can be purchased apart from the second pistol, e.g. 500 pounds + sharp discount to 100 pounds.

What I would really like is just ability to choose between single and double pistols, like they were different weapons.

There is no dilemma. Single pistol is accuracy. Dual wield is twice as many bullets before reloading. Take your pick.

Laser sights on pistols is a bad idea. It should be reserved for the battle rifle - though personally I'd prefer it for the crossbow. :IS2:

and Rate of Fire.

To clarify even better:

Single pistol:
+ Better accuracy (ironsight)
+ Fast reload
- Standard ammosize in mag
- Standard Rate of Fire

Dual pistol
+ Double Rate of Fire
+ Double ammo in "mag"
- Lesser accuracy (ironsight)
- Slower reload (Even more relatively slow for dual HC, since only single HC has a reload bonus for the Sharpshooter :()

no, it's not, thats the problem, there is almost no reason to take two, and the reasons that do exist really don't compare to the accuracy lost.

If that's the case dual pistols are pointless, in any case, there's a drawback (loss of accuracy),

that's the point of my suggestion, it makes the dual pistols accurate and therefore a worthwhile purchase for sharps who are specced into the weapon anyways.

Enough theorycrafting, i demand a mod!

also:
Spoiler!


I quite like this idea; it seems like a nice home for the laser sight.

Hmmm... i actually would like this on dual pistols. Or at least try it out and see how it feels :)

I see a new loadout emerge from this - the LASER loadout - using the M14 with either Dual Handcannons or Dual 9mm's.

This could work... it really could work :cool:

EDIT: Thanks Stephen for pointing out my math brainfart moment xD

8 + 4 + 4 = 14?

Fail math xD
Was thinking of an old setup of mine, which was LAR+Dual HC+Dual 9mm (which is 6+4+4 = 14). Yikes that was stupid of me, didn't even count beforehand, just thought "it's correct, no need to check". Gonna edit my previous post xD
