Well yeah they are smgs, they also do less damage then the pistols. It's a weird place but it's like the TAR and ScR CQC where you want to spam it if you want it to work, and just like with the ScR you need to know your timings so that you don't overheat.

And I think it should go without saying but i'll say it anyways, like with all CQC and gun fighting in general in this game, never stop moving. If you keep on target and keep moving you are likely to kill the target faster then any of the other pistols and have a good chance of besting any of the other side arms as well.

And if you are getting bested by a vet with a smg, it's probably because they have literally maxed everything in smg as many vets did this a long time ago since it tends to be the easiest sidearm to use, the hmg of sidearms as it were.

Edit: Also if you are brick tanking a gallente there's your problem as well. Take a page from the Caldari and focus mostly on making yourself have great regen and decent armor without sacrificing too much speed. If you are Rping Gallente and are focusing on using gallente weapons making yourself incredibly slow with stacks of armor plating, this is why you feel your AR/Shotgun sucks on your assault suit. Brick tanking is for the Amarr, it's what they do best. IE if you are going to brick tank you might as well run a Rail Rifle and SMG.

Double-Edit: Also keep in mind that pistols are some of the easiest weapons to fit pg/cpu wise. SMGs and especially Magsecs are cpu/pg intensive compared to the pistols.

14 pg on Bolt is easy to fit?

TYCHUS MAXWELL The Fun Police 507	Posted - 2014.08.25 21:40:00 - [7] - Quote Jokes aside I don't understand why the ion pistol gets so much hate. It's the spam pistol, which you would think would make it popular. I think as people often say DON'T CHARGE IT! Its charge damage is garbage for it overheating, it's also pretty garbage at ADS. That said, out of all the sidearms, it's the fastest at spamming down enemies, has the largest magazine, and reloads quickly. Hell I like to couple it with a mass driver and ion shields off then finish the armor with the mass driver. If you compare it to the other pistols, which it's a pistol so why wouldn't you? It's pretty balanced. Ion pistol is good at CQC spam much like all the other gallente plasma tech Scrambler pistol is decent at CQC and moderate distances which is fitting for the ScR's little brother. Bolt pistol is Alright in CQC but slow much like the other rail weapons but great at range. Flaylock pistol is pretty ****... If anything people should be complaining about the flaylock the ion pistol is godly in comparison to the flaylock.

Bradric Banewolf D3ATH CARD 264	Posted - 2014.08.25 22:00:00 - [9] - Quote I'm clearly doing it wrong here?! The ion pistol hit detection is rough unless I missed the part where they fixed it? Also if I'm running gal assault and an AR I'm rocking the SMG (armor based) finisher! The ion pistol needs to lose the overheat factor. That's just counter-productive in close quarters entirely?!

Mate, I've had better luck taking people down up close with the bolt than I have with the Ion. The Ion is just outclassed entirely. Well I don't know what to tell you, if you keep the reticle centered with hipfire and just fire as fast as you can you are likely to hit enough to kill them, at least if any other pistol would kill them you would kill them with the ion. I also don't overheat it though I typically fire like 8 shots rapid fire then wait a moment and fire the other 4 if the target didn't die in the first 8 shots. I've killed more bolt/scrambler pistol users with my ion pistol then the opposite happening. Again though I must stress, do not ADS and do not charge shot. Treat it like it's the ScR in CQC. Like if you want a video example in an ironic way, watch Shayz video with the ion pistol and do the opposite of what he does.

My bad forgot about how stupidly high the bolt is on pg... I think that's more or less just bad implementation. If I had to guess, I'd assume it's because it can act as a stupidly short range tactical SR. It's just you know Tactical SRs aren't very good dps wise... I think CCP thought the bolt was going to be OP which in all fairness it wrecks low hp suits very fast. I kill a lot of scouts and MLT suits with the bolt pistol. But so can the ion and scrambler. Anyways I digress, my point was only that in comparison to the other pistols the ion isn't that bad. It's a hell of a lot better than the flaylock, but so is melee.
