Sounds very situational. It also depends on what class, but knowing that only scout and the engineer have pistols, this would be way too situational and gimmicky.

Ah, it’s been a long 6 years since that post. Blast from the past!

Yeah, uh, I’m not totally sure what I had in mind, some sort of long-range sentry-killing device to be available to classes that might have a little trouble with them, I suppose.

I’m getting much different ideas now that I’m not some immature teenager these days. How about something that rewards careful shots (kind of like the Winger or Ambassador), but doesn’t offer as much up-close damage output as the stock pistol?

+ 15% accuracy
- 0.45 second bullet spread reset time
+ Consecutive shots on a single target will decrease damage falloff, in increments of 25%, up to 50%
This effect resets after reloading or after hitting different targets

- 35% clip size
- 15% firing speed

I think it should have the mentality of the Dragon's Fury, rewarding your accuracy with damage.
