Just like the magsec smg has slightly less DPS and the same range than an AR. But it's cheaper and easier to fit, and a medium suit can carry two!

The ion pistol should do around 400-500 dps with same rof and clip size, and the charged shot should take 0.7 seconds with a overheat similar to the scrambler rifle and very low overheat on regular shots. Sustained fire with the pistol will usually not overheat it but a charged shot and 2-3 regular shots will. Also no other pistol should have the DPS of this pistol if it's going to have longer range ; including the scrambler, even though the scrambler will always have the best DPS when accounting for headshots. Keep in mind that the charged does not increase the DPS of the gun.

The Scrambler would do more with consistent headshots but you can't rely on that 100% of the time. I think the Ion Pistol has some interesting uses. Ready a charge when you see someone, hit them with it, swap to a different weapon if it doesn't kill them. It basically becomes a single shot shotgun sidearm.
Burst vs. Consistency.
except it only works at 20 meters. If it overheats chances are you can't swap. And if you can get a successful shot with it at 20 meters chances are the victim wasn't aware of your presence meaning nova knives would be a better alternative.

Burst vs. Consistency. SCP does more damage per shot, has higher fire rate with 1 less in the clip (still more damage per clip) WITHOUT headshots. It also has more range. There is no competition.
lol for the Ion pistol to compete to the scrambler it needs to do upwards of 120+ damage per shot. Before people crap their pants the bolt pistol does 130 damage per shot fully automatic at 40 meters.
