Pistol Crossbow

[Nervatel]

Why make/calll it a "Pistol Crossbow," if pistol skills don't work with it ?
Should have just been called a crossbow

[Beautiful Ham Sandwich]

I agree, was insanely disappointed about it not working with Gunslinger

[Schmuddel]

It's a small crossbow that goes in your secondary slot and is operated with one hand rather than two. Hence, pistol.

Could just call it a different less misleading name though, like Pocket Crossbow, or even just Crossbow

How Pistol Skills work

They work when: The Gun you obtained is found in the PISTOL tab, or AKIMBO tab.
They Don't work when: The Gun you obtained is found in any other tab that isn't PISTOL or AKIMBO tab.

I think its real life counter part is refered as pistol crossbow

You miss the point, its clearly called a "PISTOL Crossbow."
Why specify pistol in the name, if skills that also specify pistols, don't work with them ?

Its not in the Pistol tab. I generally associate the attributes of the Gun with the tab they're found in. Shotgun Skill? Shotgun Tab Weapons should effect them.

Think this topic is becoming a tad too serious. Let's all just agree that having pistol skills work on it would be cool

Because it has a pistol grip and is rather small. Calling it a pistol crossbow is the correct name for this kind of weapon.

If you would have said it like that, I would have agreed. Right now, however, it's just a incredible stealth pistol replacement (assuming you're not trying to shoot anything TOO far. Ideal for Shadow Raid stealth and other Close Quarter stealthing. Less so for... not)

[Silberfuchs]

I would have NEVER assumed that somebody could think naming a crossbow pistol crossbow could turn it to a pistol. After all it's a pistol shaped crossbow, not a crossbow shaped pistol. The function decides about what things are.

Common sense, people, common sense!

[stuntrock]

Same deal with the Judge.

[Sugoi]

Rename it Hand Crossbow.

Pack it up, we're done here.

[Nervatel]

So skills that say "pistol" in their description, should have no effect on a weapon with pistol in it's name

[Brownstone]

And it's completely useless without the Gunslinger buff since 100 damage doesn't do anything special on Death Wish, but it could reach 120 with the help of Gunslinger + Underdog to one-shot Grays. What's the purpose of this stupid weapon?

This. Pistol Crossbow is actually used in modern forces today. It's the term for it. It's used as a small weapon that's good for both silent killing and psychological warfare.
