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

Bah. Even without penalty, a pistol is less accurate to start with. And don't compare its power with the rifle's, compare it with the heavy gun's. How many pistol shots do you need to take down a muton? A dozen or more? [/b][/quote]
The standard pistol is about as accurate as it gets and the difference with the rifle in damage is insignificant. It only loses out at point-blank range, where the rifle can put all 3 shots on the target.
