  Me and a friend discussed that a revolver would be more appropriate for exploring the wild nature of Icarus. With it's use being a single bolt action with ammunition and reload time very similar to the rifle (the quantity of ingredients to make them as well) makes the weapon entirely inferior and an upsetting waste of a blueprint and resources.
  
  The shotgun serves the purpose of a handgun, dealing multiple shots against a group. However in this current build copper is too expensive for it's use in electronics, gold seeming more populated than copper. So a proper revolver, single-action or whatever you have in mind would be much appreciated. It's a neat primitive handgun guys, but compared to the rifle sitting right beside it that has the same ammunition cost in resources and raw damage it's completely outclassed. Also I want to add that with no talent that makes cheaper ammo, the rounds should be developed in multiples.

  Yes! This is exactly what we need for a pistol option!

  Yeah, pistol is garbage and a waste of resources. A 6-shot revolver would make up for the lack of stopping power.

  Even with the cannon mod, the pistol is useless as is. If nothing else, allow a t4 pistol that uses the same ammo and is a 6 shot revolver (a semi-automatic would be better, but I'm trying to match the level of design of the very dated lever action "hunting rifle" which is the t4 example of a rifle).

  the skill tree of the pistol need some rework to allow it to be different.
  currently faster reload and higher dmg... seriously it too simple and not very good.
  i think instead of faster reloading, higher magazine count, then ricochet is better.
  so say double current magazine, or +2+4+8 magazine then for the ricochet, bullet bouncing to the closest target the amount bounce and area is base on skill level. this allow pistol to be nice clearing mob swarm tool instead of just competion for cheaper stuff.
  and most of the time cause ppl to just go for the highest dmg one like rifle.

  this surprisingly reasonable, maybe reduce accuracy when using with a shield then a perk to remove that?
