    Post Bounty Hunters limited to pistols/blasters only?

    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?

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

    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!
    Thats my two cents and thanks for reading!

    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!!!

    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

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