Pingers cannot be stopped with this pistol. You can't hit them, but they hit you.
The damage of the pistol needs to drop, or the accuracy.
It's just far too unrealistic in a 1:1 vs. every other weapon.
Twitcher has pistol, flicks 1/2 step to the right and instantly appears on the left, sends an extra pack, opponent instantly dead without getting a shot in.
Death to this stupid pistol!
Who's with me!?
