I'd like to see it be more like a sawnoff shotgun, 1 very powerful shot, effective within say 10m, but then a reload.
I would like CCP to comment first - and why would you want it to be like that when we already have shotguns???
What is so funny are the nerfs that you guys want will render the weapon near useless and you point to MD like if that works fine.
As some sensible people have said - lower ROF, slight reduction in splash damage.

Doesnt the Plasma Cannon also have the same styled CPU/G layout with minimum PG
CCP should also explain why they have chosen that setup as there might be some reasoning for certain gear combinations. |

Do you understand splash damage? also scrambler pistol is not hard to use effectively at all. But it still is too easy to get a kill just by shooting the feet.
We have murder taxis and remote explosives - all need no to little SP and kill just as easy or easier. |

But that wont stop the crying.
If it shoots slower then the enemy has more time to evade and the shooter has to be more cautious aiming.
Yes longer reload time may cause some to be more careful but if you have someone in sights its 123 - queue the QQ |
