    All the directive pistols get badlier stats than the default one.
    For example: THE EXECUTIVE: NC4 MAG-SHOT:
    Damage: 200 before 10m 200 before 10m
    112 after 40m :( 1120 after 60m :)
    Muzzle Velocity: 188 m/sec :( 375 m/sec :)
    Ammunution capacity, relod speed, hip accuracy and aim accuracy is the same (puhh, one succeed)
    -> So no upgrades! But a lot of downgrades !!!!!!
    But why make SOE this aurax. pistols (and a lot of other aurax. weapons so badly ? )
    Why gives us DB not simply small however perceptible upgrades to the aurax. weapons ? What is the problem ? What do you say in addition?

    One interesting hypothesis was recently suggested in another thread. The weapons produced by the Directive System were provided with a mishmosh of statistics (and originally perfectly fixed attachments) because the weapons themselves were intended to be challenging to use originally, it goes. It's like when you have to "unlock hardmode."

    (The reality is probably closer to "put options in a fishbowl and draw at random.")

    i see your point, but the truth is that directive pistols are probably dead last on the directive complaint list.
