Bounty Hunters limited to pistols/blasters only?

[gizmo]

When first images of the Bounty Hunter came, it has a rifle in its hands, but as it turns out, it seems the BH can only use blasters. I don't know if this is a lore thing (since I don't know the lore that much) but being a gadgety type, why not use rifles or at least, bigger blasters.

What do you think? Should the Bounty Hunter use rifles/big guns? Yes/No and why?

[Krush]

I don't remember Boba Fett using any rifles...so no

[karnal]

no, bounty hunters are a more gadgety type class...with flame thrower and rail gun..let the trooper wear all teh rifles, i'm fine with that

[vexx]

maybe bigger guns in a sense of bigger looking blasters yes, but no rifles and such

[alexe]

I would honestly like to see Bounty Hunters with big and mean rifles. And not just for the look of it :p

[Angy]

Rifles and big guns ftw !!

[Chinkyi]

well why not use rifles ive seen bounty hunters with a rifle on there back

I don't think BW is going to, and I'm fine with this, but I would like to see BH's have the option to use blaster rifles and Troopers the option to use pistols. I really love the duel-pistol commando style of ARC-Trooper you see in Clone Wars, and though I realize that these guys were trained by Jango Fett, a bounty hunter, I don't see any reason why these troopers couldn't do the same. Also, what Boba Fett uses is a carbine, which is neither truly a pistol nor a rifle, but rather an in-between. As said, however, I'm certainly alright with the current system. The blaster pistols in game look fantastic ^^

Well each to his own, but I am sure weapons will change over time and we will be able to get different looks for the non jedi / sith classes. But my favorite bounty hunter uses a saw off rifle!

yes exactly original Bounty Hunter's had rifles etc. there should be no restrictions to using these guns, BH class should be allowed to use cannons!!!

[Flex]

I have to agree with the BH being able to use larger weapons. Why can't they make a weapon line that is a rifle that has or can add a shield gen? Damage output could be the same but aesthetics would be much more pleasing.. tiny blasters will get old.

Piston whipn other classes sounds a lot cooler than thootn them with a rifle it also looks a lot cooler and BA. I have read a lot about this on the main forums doesnt seem like they will be having them on release, also heard a lot of talk about lightsabers (from ppl that read the comics) personally i like the novelty of the idea but would not change my decision on rolling BH based of having or not having these items

But he did use Carbines.

Personally, I think Mercenaries should keep the dual-wield blasters, and Powertechs should get rifles. Because what am I doing with my other hand?
