User blog:Cobalt32/Dual Pistols

Dual Pistols are a Gunner weapon class whose short range and unimpressive power levels are made up for with its high refire rate and ammo capacity. The Dual Pistols (or DPs) are meant for those who often find themselves up close to the monster and thus can't afford to hold still and take their time lining up a good shot; it allows moving while shooting, similar to the Bow, and has a formidible melee combo attack (weaker than a Blademaster SnS; mostle meant for gun-fu-ing small monsters to death and saving ammo for the big ones). I must elaborate, however, on the "high ammo capacity" bit. You know how this is "Dual Pistols", thus implying the firing of two guns simultaneously? That actually only applies to "normal" ammo. You see, each of your two guns specializes in different ammo types, so elemental/status shots (or Bullets, a new ammo type exclusively for DP's and Rifles, another creation of mine) will be fired only from the left gun, while "special" shots like Pellet, Slicing, or Crag will be fired from the right, or vice versa. Ammo capacity and possibly reload speed may vary with the left or right gun, but in any case, use of ammo that is fired from the two guns together combines their capacities, allowing you to fire mass quantities of bullets before having to reload, but consequently leaving you with a very long reload time (fortunately, you can move while reloading with DP's. I have a feeling this idea could use a few refinements (I'm probably forgetting a few details), so I'll be open for suggestions for improvement and may be updating this a few times. Any suggestions?
