*collective gasp*
Nerf its direct damage and it's splash damage!
*people faint*
And then make it a pistol sidearm . . .
Think about it for a second; sure there are those who can get kills, or even do well with the PlaC, but the same can be said of SMGs and Scrambler Pistols. IMO that's not good enough to say the PlaC is a valid light weapon.
On the other hand, if it were a single-shot massive damage pistol with minor AV capabilities and zero PG requirements, I think it would make an excellent sidearm. And imagine not having to fit AV nades on every suit you plan on taking out into open ground, wouldn't that be liberating?
Perhaps I'm really just suggesting a new sidearm here, but it occurs to me that the gulf of difference between the PlaC and a desirable sidearm, is far less than that between the PlaC and a viable light weapon. |

Nah, pre-nerf flaylocks had stupid range, accuracy & splash, & worst of all ROF. PlaC has none of these, just an awesome alpha potential. |

That's a little fecetious.
Clearly there is a difference between what makes a viable light weapon, and what makes a viable sidearm. The shotgun has it's own issues, but is perfectly viable as a light weapon, you cannot say the same for the PlaC. The novelty of its high alpha power is comparable to the Scrambler's headshot bonus. |

Well now I give you an 8/10 for trolling.

By "easymode" I can only assume you mean "useful". |

The most useful is the Forge Gun.
Lol, you nearly had me there for a moment. |
