Jeez Hamma! Wasting no time!

Love the look. Always knew the NC would be the ones to have something like a DE. Why waste bullets when you can do the job with one <--- secondary NC Motto.

Also - I can imagine that they might allow a Scattergun weapon mod. just puts a different barrel on it, and uses a similar magazine, only it has buckshot instead of .50 cal rounds.

Better bet able to shoot shotgun rounds. Otherwise, why have separate pistols?

Hmr85 · 2012-02-07, 06:55 PM

Not bad, It looks good for a pistol.

It's not even on the news page for me yet o.0

How amazingly boring. The scatter pistol was so unique and awesome, now it's beyond boring and generic.

I'm loving most of their changes, but this one is a definite thumbs down :/

Neksar · 2012-02-07, 07:03 PM

It's probably like a Desert Eagle vs an M9, for comparison. I like.

Shotokanguy · 2012-02-07, 07:04 PM

I can't wait to rip that NC sticker off.

I better be able to take that thing off.

Otherwise, I like its look. I never touched the Mag Scatter, so I'm not too broken up about not having a shotgun pistol.

Niiiiice.

Could see several side grades for this.

Extended butt stock, 2 rails for attachments, hand grips, extended mags, barrel variant and maybe 2 ammo variants.Then you can start in on the cosmetic end of it to offer say 2 solid one color variants and 2 multi-color variants.

So no Scat Pistol?

Well that's kinda boring.

Vancha · 2012-02-07, 07:22 PM

As always, the empire logo looks terrible, but otherwise it's good. It's no mag-scatter but it fits the NC's improvisational theme. It looks slightly retro with that shade of grey (not a bad thing). The carbon fiber doesn't look very good up close, though.

Boring as some of you think it may be, remember that NC goes for what is practical not what looks good. Also does anyone have a guess as to what the clip size might be?

Given that it's NC - probably 7, or 9 if we're lucky. As stated before, we don't waste time with multiple bullets. Two should be enough. Three if you really don't like them.

I like it a lot actually. Looks like it packs a wallop. I like side arms that look and feel like they're actually a viable weapon option rather than "shit i'm out of bullets well at least i can annoy them with this pea shooter before i die"..
