Handguns - Useful at all?

[Valvalion]

I'm trying to get an S-Rank collection going for every weapon type my Fortegunner can have them in.

Using an A rank crossbow, is there any reason why I would want to switch to handgun apart from the S-Rank factor?

[Fornever]

Not one!

Actually, the only things it has better off is if you can 1 shot an enemy its faster, you can also use it in first person view for onmagoug. Other then that, nope

if you're getting a handgun just to have one, then i say stick with the crossbow. the only thing the handgun offers by itself is a faster rate of fire. ult PA's might also be worth it, but i haven't tried any yet.

It's good for fortefighters, but they can't get S rank guns anyway.

[Valvalion]

Wicked, thanks for the replies.

Seems really odd that we get them then...

...So seeing as I have enough weapons of destruction (Hi, Shigga Desta!) i'm going to give the Viper a try and ignore all your advice. Bahah!

I kinda wish I had another weapon slot going in the palette so I could have them both running.

I say that Protransers get the most use out of handguns. It's the only weapon they can use with a single saber, and they get lv 40 bullets and S rank handguns.

handguns also get lv. 3 SEs, wich is better than X-bows

SE3 is better than SE3? I thought it was the same. >.>

handguns fire fast and uhm...you can sue them in first person.

even though its weak...its an essential weapon for fFs

actually since AoI fFs get S hand guns

[Zorafim]

That's only because of how much emphasis Sega seems to put on ranged combat. Really annoying, since I hate using guns.

[chicken105]

s rank handguns are only good for protranser.

[Broodstar1337]

Handguns are pretty much your last resort ranged weapon. If you can't use anything else, at least you have something to fight back against aerial attacks or to tag out-of-reach buttons and whatnot.

rly? I was under the impression that X-bows did not have SE3, oh well http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

handguns can free-aim and have a higher fire-rate. but X-bows pwn @ damage tho.

i dont know, i always have a handgun with me at least in my inventory, just in case. and Iv played everyone class at least once.

The two jobs FORCED to use a Pistol are Protranser and ForteFighter. Maybe now even the AcroFighter and AcroTecher but they get dual pistols and card fans so even then they dont need a single pistol.

Every other job that can use Pistol can use a MUCH MORE useful gun that either does huge status or does more damage per second.

TECHERs get the Bow and the Kikami Card fans - homing lock on 3 hits status 2. The 3 hits alone make it more powerful than a pistol. The bow puts them right there with Ranger fire support too.

RANGERS get every gun - Aerial targets they use sniper rifles, laser cannons, and for ground they have shotties and grenades - i'll use those before i whip out my last resort.

FIGUNNERS have dual pistols and M-gun and Crossbow now. The M-gun's Rate of Fire alone makes it better than a pistol - the DPS is insane even in short bursts it does more damage total than a pistol.

handguns can free-aim and have a higher fire-rate. but X-bows pwn @ damage and shoot 3 bullets therefore allowing a player to hit more than one enemy, making it a lot more efficient at mob control and SE spread, making the handgun's .005 higher fire-rate moot.
