Okay I and several others have asked for and made suggestions for a wide variety of new munitions powers. Some of these suggestions included expansions to the Single Pistol set. And others were for adding some new tactical and demolition powers. The one thing that many of these suggestions had was for a Passive specific to munitions. Well I've done some thinking on all of these and reviewed most of them and came up with the following...
Single Pistol
T0 - Quick Draw - Maintain - Single Target - 50' Range
Rank 2
Rank 3
2 Point Advantage - Shoot from the Hip - Gives Quick Draw a 50% (100% if affected by Concentration) chance to hit an up to 2 additional adjacent targets every period.
Accelerated Metabolism
Nailed to the Ground
Crippling Challenge
T1 - Magnum Shot - Blast - Line Area of Effect-50' Range- 3-5 Targets based on charge time. Leaves a Lingering Debuff on the first four targets called Exit Wound. This Debuff functions the same as Bleeds applied by Single Blade powers.
Rank 2
Rank 3
2-Point Advantage - Dum-Dum Round - Removes the Area of Effect component of the power and increases the Damage on the single target by 80% and adding a knock down to the damage.
Accelerated Metabolism

Rank 2
Rank 3
Nailed to the Ground
2 Point Advantage - Double Tap - Has a 50% (100% if affected by Concentration) to deal damage twice to the target. This secondary damage is the same amount as the primary shot. This advantage applies a second stack of the damage resistance debuff when a secondary hit is made.

2 Point Advantage - Dead Eye - Adds a 10% chance to automatically defeat target mobs. This auto defeat only applies to Master Villain and below. Enforcer level and higher as well as other players take additional Penetrating damage equal to 10% of the damage that would have triggered the auto-defeat effect.
T1 - Flak Jacket - Defensive Passive - Provides a massive damage resistance to physical damage. Damage Resistance scales with Rank and Super Stats.
Rank 2

I'm wondering though for Bullet Storm (another great idea, btw) if an advantage might be added to let the character hold a weapon in each hand. Pretty much that's the default for the first tick, but I mean the ones following it.
Do you think it might be a cosmetic 0 point advantage like with ego blades?
Great ideas.

2 Point Advantage - Akimbo - Fires two of each weapon type for the duration of the maintain. Gains a 25% miss chance against targets that are farther out. Deals slightly less damage the longer the power is maintained (to indicate the loss of stability from dual wielding 2 Assault Rifles, 2 SMGs and 2 Shotguns). The Knock Back distance on the final blast is doubled.

Animations for the Single Pistol Powers Listed above
Quick Draw borrows the basic animation from the Gunslinger's Legacy device as seen in these Screen Shots
Magnum Shot would borrow the animation that The New Purple Gang Drivers' use with the both hands gripping the weapon and taking a solid shooter's stance similar to this image...
Pistol Whip borrows the swinging animation from Cleave in heavy weapons....
and Tactical Shot borrows from the same animation as Magnum Shot....with a slightly longer sight time between charge and shot (taking the time to line up that perfect shot vs just put a big hole in the target)
for that to work you'd need to cut the damage down a lot to the point where it'd be more or less Assault Rifle, so I personally think it'd be a slightly better idea to have a 2 (maybe 3?) point advantage for the sniper rifle power that increases the change time slightly (1-1.5 second increase) but makes it fire a burst of 3 shots at a single target, as a replacer for tungsten rounds (to give focused shot a uniqueness to it, atm it's just a bow copy of sniper rifle :<)

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
