Mmm, I do agree with Assault Pistols getting nerfed.
I actually had to use my appirces against some noob. It's been a LONG time since I've not been able to kill someone with redpistoles and been forced to use appirces.
I believe there are several other things that could be done to improve Zone. But I don't really play much anymore so I don't think I could make any suggestions that for sure wouldn't ruin the gaming experience.
