I'm not a good enough knifer/scout to realize the difference cause I'm lucky to even get close enough to be shotgun distance from a redberry.
Well, honestly, stick with a shotty right now, more reliable and you don't have to get 0m from someone. I tore things up with my standard shotty earlier like it was my proto. I am happy about that one.

That heavy near the end you hit in the back of the head shoulda dropped no doubt about it
After rewatching it I do sound a little brutal in parts, but this sort of stuff needs to be said. This is supposed to be the staple of this suit and it's worthless in it's current state. It auto-gimps the suit. Fix the weapon, or fix the bonus. I've spent a lot of hours in this suit trying to get it's bonus to be worth while and I cannot drink my own coolaid and pretend it's worth it.
Knives should be high skill, high reward. The damage is good. But to be a 0m shotgun with a charge time and a ridiculously small strike zone with no assistance that cannot be used while sprinting is ridiculous.
I know I'm probably going to die when I go in for a knife so I try as hard as I can. I don't care about the isk, or my KD. I do it because it's exciting get that close to someone. To be robbed of the work it took to get there, to dodge their shots, to be robbed of it due to an unreliable weapon is bullkitten.
This injustice will not stand!

A side arm that cannot kill anything but a stationary, stupid, or slow target reliably. Even the fatties are unreliable kills when you're in a scout suit. Remember what's merely a sidearm to you is the staple of another racial variant's build.

Remember what's merely a sidearm to you is the staple of another racial variant's build. How so? I get increased ammo for my SideArm by using the Minmatar Assault. Does this mean that my build should rely around it? Keep in mind that I am playing Devil's Advocate.
Gladly will. I have a proto minnie assault. Yes, my build on my assault is focused on the side arm bonus. It's not about relying it's about making use. It's about efficiency. While that bonus in particular is broad, the scout only covers the nova knife. Which has such a small niche of uses. It put's an already weak suit at a greater disadvantage than suits with bonuses that actually help them.

I feel this fix only reduced the range and therefore now I have to be so close that I can't see if I'm hitting the merc, or if there are actual hit detection issues. For comparison sake. Here is a 1.3 montage I did when knives were still functional http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN5enAXejfk
You killed a dude at 3m in that video. Not even a minute in.
Also, good slicing. o7
