Hello again. As it stands now the game I'm currently playing in is great, but most of our heavy firepower comes from magic. Most PCs aren't skilled with guns aside from my character, and he's far better in physical combat then ranged.

So most of our battles typically involve the shaman and mage nuking the hell out of what ever our enemies are until we get into melee range, and the adepts just destroy them with close range martial arts. I'm not complaining, it's a lot of fun, but I've got a feeling our GM will be throwing more weapon based enemies at us.

Any how looking for some suggestions for better heavy pistols. My character has full ambidexterity so i'd like to turn him into a led slinging machine. Any suggestions?
