It just kills to slowly to be effective The magsec kills faster at pretty much all ranges so a damage buff would be really nice

But a skill to reduce the recharge would definitely make it more effective not OP like some might say. Don't nerf heavies, instead do This

I'd prefer to lose the individual charges, and the fitting requirements are a little bizarre, but I've been taking out medium frames with 4 shots FFS. P.s. this may be quite an obscure use for the weapon, but it's a OHK for equipment. Very satisfying. No.

Yes and no sidearms very well have the ability of going toe to toe with a light weapon, however unlike the light weapons they have strict restrictions they must follow making them a more skill based weapon to master and be useful in. You can and will go double digits with a sidearm, it's just harder. Sinboto - The True Blood Minja Forum Warrior level 5 STB-Infantry (Demolition)

It really does need a fix. The DPS is so outclassed by every other sidearm, including the magsec which is better at all ranges Having the bolt pistol be the slowest killing gun in the game makes no sence.

Venerable Phage Red Shirts Away Team 94	Posted - 2014.03.28 04:07:00 - [20] - Quote I'm using a std MagSec (just level 1 skill) and SMG on a STD mini suit for this event ... It's a cheap outfit and I normally don't use the SMG as I'm still testing the Mag. I might have to try out the bolt gun paired with the Mag. FYI I use two sidearms because it focuses me much more. And with prof 2 in SMGs I can hold my own with surprise.

It strips most shields in 2 shots and armor goes soon after. Its great for my scout paired with either a magsec or Nova Knives. This thing has power. The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.

The low DPS is a problem when the magsec has a similar range and much higher DPS It should do 200 dmg at basic 210 at advanced 220 at proto That would give it at least 300 DPS

I'd say to buff the range since it's rail tech, but then again it's a sidearm. #Dud514
NextDark Knight Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 329	Posted - 2014.03.28 16:58:00 - [30] - Quote I like the Bolt pistol as is and wouldn't change it. I like that I can stop holding the trigger mid charge and it not fire. Sometimes I'm not sure if I want to commit and I would waste so much ammo without that feature. If it does have a range glitch right now I'd be excited to see it in action cause it seams like long range isn't connecting. It works great the way it is I hope the changes don't effect to much cause mid range it's a nasty little smack. Forge Changes needed Officer Splash 3.0, Proto 2.7 Advanced 2.5 Standard 2.1. Original ROF needs to return!

I'm still getting used to it but, the RoF is just horible I like the BP's rate of fire. It gives it a unique feel. A damage buff would be better for getting it to a competitive dps since it has a fairly low ammo pool.
