Hello/ AoM strategies

But all that is irrelevant, since you only get unique pistols maybe once in a hundred games.

Indeed. It's FASTER than a normal pistol. Your rate of fire is based off both pistols. I'm not sure of the exact number, but if you have a pistol that shoots at 1s and one that shoots at .5s, you'll shoot faster than if you had two at 1s.
Chamber:
I'm a huge fan of AoM. Everyone's mentioned very good stategies, and I won't argue with any of them.
I use a couple of tricks to keep ahead. Firstly, I use SoaGx2 -> DG -> SoaG -> Reloader x2 -> whatever looks good.
I find that in AoM, speed is far more important than damage. Other weapons have crazy damage stats, but the humble pistol can shoot quickly and accurately. So I enhance the firing speed. This leaves the reload time every 6 shots as my biggest weakness, so I use Reloader to cut down my vulnerable time. Once this core strategy is in play, I'll either get Finesse and Whizkid to mod my pistols to ridiculous levels, or Ironman/Tough as Nails to buff up. Son of a Bitch is good too.
Sometimes, a double reload will take too long and get you fried. In tense multi-enemy situations, I sometimes only reload a single pistol so as not to take up too much time. If nothing opens fire, I can then reload the other pistol, or just use one to score a quick kill.
In Phobos Base, there will always be a large source of ammo. So just keep 300 rounds and prioritise armour and medipacks. When you reach Hell you'll find ammo shortages, so from there on collect and prioritise every single bullet you find.
Thus, you have a great rate of fire, and reasonably good damage and accuracy ratings. I find that I can kill even big enemies in a hail of bullets before they can fire back or I need to reload.
Hope this helps. :)
