I think that although the base damage is high CCP did a good job on the bolt pistol. Now that it kills people you'll get the OP claims. I've used the bolt pistol quite often on my scout before the buff and can honestly say it's a skill shot weapon, If you miss 1 of your shots you're screwed. I think that vs other side arms you'll have a 50/50 chance in a head on gun fight like you're supposed to.
Keep in mind it's only out for one day in its current state so people will try it, however I still believe people will favor the higher clip size sidearms in the end.
lol that is now before it just had a range dropoff damage % issue it was 150 damage 6 clip 36 ammo. it is not a spray and pray sidearm it was meant for mid to long range attacks. the charge up is very quick and it is perfect to reaim between shots. now it is op with on shield 225% headshot with a basic bp of 229 that is over 515.25 damage remember it goes up to 245% when it hits armor. so if a suit has 400 shield 150 armor the damage goes 400 to shield but the 115 turns into 125 so the suit would have 25 armor left the is not counting any proficiency in it. with level 1 prof the suit would be dead. how is that not OP? remember this is a SIDEARM not a shotgun or nova knives. it is a sniper rifle at 10 - 80 meters.
A scr can chargeable ohk a ton of suits, so can a sg or a pair of nk the key factors in all those weapons is skill.
in the time it takes to kill with a smg it would be equal or quicker than a bp.
Although i am probably biased because ive used it as my main weapon since its release, i have the timing down and my skills up, i can and have killed a heavy in a bp vs hmg dual with a few shots but im pro 5, reload 5 and damage mods so i can drop about 700 hp off you in 2/3 shots thats about 3 to five seconds which is more than enough time for my smg to destroy you, just feels like a worse death because my two skill shots beat your lousy spray n pray.
Dont worry your ego will heal.
