Exactly. You can't just buff pistol. By buffing the pistol you will obviously make it better at some scenarios, thus making those scenarios easier, thus making the whole game easier. No way around it. Some part of the game WILL be nerfed.

I would probably try to turn into some kind of bolt rifle, like some kind of very slow fire rate high accuracy medium damage weapon, with accuracy penalty on movement, something that can't be used to kill enemies point blank, but can be used to kill annoying chaingunner turrets IF there's no other enemies around.
Basically something to clear annoying leftovers once you're done with the encounter, but not something that can be used at the start (or even in the middle) of encounter to trivialize it. Not really sure how to force that except literal accuracy penalty forced if there's an enemy within X meters of you. Or ~3 seconds wind up time. Or even not being able to shot it with enemies nearby at all, still more useful than the pistol.
