Managed to get access to a burst scrambler. Impressive rate!
however, when I test-fired it against a walll. the dispersion was horribly spread out.
Seems like a very short-range weapon.

The only pistols you should really be hipfiring are the breach variants. Like I said it has some pretty bad spread but you need to use it opposite of what you think.
It's more medium short range. You don't want to get up close because you will be forced to use hipfire which you have already found out is really hectic. Try keeping your targets at a medium short range and using ADS. When you use ADS it drastically reduces spread.
I do admit I use the CAR 9 up close and personal sometimes disregarding my own advice but I do so only in super dire moments;
I ran out of clip on my Breach AR and this damn shotgunner is on my ass and I need to DPS his ass. But he's a Minmatar Scout so he's closing in. I whipped out my Burst and just sprayed him like an SMG. It actually only took one burst to bring him down (he was wounded) but the kick sent 3 shots up his body the last landing in his face. I have done the same in similar scenarios but it's much more efficient and safe to play Medium-Short using ADS. Like I said it's a headshot king but headshots do not just come to you, you must line em' up. |

The way i mangle the controller, its the opposite.
using ADS slows down my tracking too much. I cant keep up with the bouncing bunnies, nor avoid their spray.
(since it slows down your movement as well as tracking!)
Contrariwise, using hipfire with auto-aim gets me a lot of hits with regular scrambler.
Yet, when I use breech... I sometimes use ADS, since I "gotta make the one shot count"

Welp, here goes some of my opinions as a Flaylock user.
First and foremost, I used to run almost exclusively shotgun scout up until recently when I branched into other roles to spice things up a bit. I chose the Flaylock as my sidearm for two reasons:
1) It is a short to mid range weapon that deals massive damage. The shotgun on the other hand is a short range weapon, I can harass my opponents from mid range if needed with the Flaylock and either run or get in close with the shotgun. Fire off a few rounds at the corner or in their general direction and people tend to hang back a little bit, giving you a chance to run if needed.
2) It is effective against vehicles and turrets/things. The main reason I went with the Flaylock was back when we had the free LAV spammage. It was normally easy to take down a LAV's shielding with either AV grenades, or someone else had some kind of AV weapon/fit, and use the Flaylock on them. I've also taken down wounded tanks, granted mostly militia, with the flaylock, and at other times have made them run. I've even killed a few dropships with them, although that is an uncommon feat and should not, NOT happen against a good DS pilot. One good thing though is that the Flaylock would toss the DS around if it hit, increasing the odds of taking it out assuming it was within AV grenade range.
Vehicle usage seems to have decreased, while smarter pilots/drivers and non militia vehicle fittings seem to be a bit more commonplace amongst the remaining vehicle users. To be honest, I am not feeling the need to constantly run a AV fit or AV gear anymore, but I still find it useful occasionally.
While I like the Flaylock, I just find myself not using it as much anymore. It could be I got a little bored with it, I do change things up on occasion. The Flaylock is a damn fine weapon to use still. IMO the standard is a bit pointless since I have a hard time consistently hitting people with it directly and tend to rely more on the splash damage. The Adv version is just so much easier to use.
IMO the main reason you don't see that many Flaylocks used anymore is because the FOTM crowd has decided they are "nerfed"
Almost forgot, the Flaylock used to be my, "let's check and see if the objective has any RE's planted!" weapon. If the opponent is smart, they'll hide the REs well, and if time is short, shooting up the area around the objective is faster than actually looking. And I typically run with AV grenades, so I can't really use one of those like a Flux grenade and clear the area.
