Pistols rock! You get a higher rate of fire, a lighter weapon, and the ability to use grenades without an accuracy penalty.

How come, a higher rate of fire?
And personally I think pistols (incl. laser pistols) don't deliver enough damage compared to laser rifles, autocannons, etc.
Plasma pistols would make a decent choice I guess, but I still prefer heavy plasmas or laser rifles at that point. [/b][/quote]
With the laser pistol you can get 12 shots a turn vs about 6-7 with the laser rifle. Sure, you have like 46 dmg vs 60, but it's twice the shots.... Yeah, gotta give those reaction troopers those babies :P
With the standard pistol, you get faster snap shots and better accuracy than the rifle (nice for ranged attacks) and you can keep a grenade in the other hand without accuracy loss.
The plasma pistol rocks less as it doesn't excel in any one area over other guns. It's slow, decent accuracy, takes ammo, and only has stopping power going for it.
