rocket vs grenade. you would think the grenade would win because of size and its launched by the gun rather then the ammo but hey something that is as big a marker beats something larger than a softball in destructive power. so yea makes total sense there..
i need to find more marker to throw at those pesky softball girls.

It is a sidearm not a light weapon nor a heavy weapon. It is a sidearm; do you understand?

Sidearms are not meant to be your main weapon no matter what you think. They are not. Meant. To. Replace. Your. Main weapon.

That should be enough of a reason itself!

An example of OPness: A fully specialized shot-gunner gets within 2 meters of you and instead of using a shotgun, pulls out a Core Flaylock Pistol to one instant kill you with one shot; when you're running as a heavy....

A sidearm shouldnt be amain? Tell thT to my officer smg on a proto assault. Sidearms are supposed to have more damage than their light weapon counterpart, but At the expense of clip size, range, and rpm. Need i remind you the breash SP does 115 compared to like 39? The smg has 10 damage more than an hmg. True the flaylock doesn't have a rifle counterpart, but imagine this:
Your prized duvolle ar did 54 damage per shot, 25 shot clip, and had the range of a shotgun. Damage per clip wise, it still loses to the ol' ar, but Damage per shot is increased, and fitting is reduced. Sounds a bit powerful right? But it means you have to actually AIM, something the flYlock also has, 1 meter splash, compared to the MD's 6. Now the flaylock might need a nerf, or better yet, let's buff everthing else so it's not AR vs flaylock. I refuse to allow whiny kittens like you ruin all, EXCEPT. The goddMn ar.every single update we get buffs the ar in SOME way. Leaving niche players in the 'dust'

Flux, and they can take out 3 people faster than they ever could, the RoF is just too high for them to compete. The standard MD has 5.0 splash, which is irrelevant when all you're going is aiming at the feet, while the flaylock DPS is vastly superior. Assault has a higher splash, but even with Flux Nades you will never be able to take down a Heavy with a HMG before dying, or anyone without Nade/team support. Flaylock Pistols are not niche, everyone is using them because they are too effective at what they do.
