i don't really use any of the energy pistols...at all...ok except the alien blaster....
i love the gatling laser and the gauss and holorifles...
and i'm thinking they should bring the gauss pistol back, it was a fun little gun in Fallout 2

Who's with me?
I wouldn't mind seeing it return, if nothing else it would give EW pistol specialists a really top-end weapon and free them from the need for a Gauss Rifle or Plasma Caster for hard targets.
I never really used one myself in FO2, but then I rarely specialized my weapons to that extent and for a more general Small Guns user the Rifle was a much better option. Of course, I also toted around a Vindicator Minigun, so a pistol would have felt a bit anemic in comparison.
*wishes the Vindicator was back too* :gun: (yes, I know it's in a weapon pack mod)
