Should Pistols be buffed?

Yes! Absolutely! I can't hit the broadside of a barn!
No! I can hit a rabbit from 5 miles away!

The fact that they are innacurate is hilarious

 I would support a pistol buff if the couldn't reload on the fucking move.

They're being buffed already. WPF being raised ten, I believe? Something around those lines.

Quote from: Vince's spreadsheet
1.   Pistol buff
-          two proposals: either more accurate or same accuracy, but it should kill at close distances with one shot  Increased the firearm skill for all troops (this only applies to pistols!) it was on 10, which is so low it caused bugs, set it to 30, seems to hit within the circle now. To balance the pistols I made them reload slightly slower now.

I've seen it, I was simply trying to recall it off the top of my head. All I'm saying is it got buffed.

No need to go all 'Search Function' on me.  :'(

I'm pretty sure it is getting an accuracy buff in the new patch.

As Mr. Function above said, aye, it is. 20 WPF, so yes, more accuracy. ;)

Oh, sorry, didn't see that. It's what happens when you're on your phone and it takes you to the last post straight away...

Really if they remove the hilarious pistol accuracy which occur while the person is moving, I'm happy already.

WEll, in real life, pistols are pretty accurate, considerin the length of the barrel and the time they were made, they were (if I remember right) accurate to up to 20-40 feet.

When one team spams officers and rushes, it ends up in curb-stomp battle (officers being the ones who stomp others), making pistol stronger would make them just unstoppable.
Although pistol is more of psychological weapon when not used in large numbers, and fairly useless, there are people who can hit 9/10 shots at close ranges and rack up nice scores with it.
Also, using pistol as skirmisher ranker is quite insane. I usually can't hit anything, but with this combination I hit around 7/10 shots at medium ranges (pretty much all shots at close ranges).

Hate to necro this thread, but this is untrue, skills have no effect on pistol accuracy, the accuracy of a pistol weapon is the same whoever uses it.
