dual vs. single wield pistols? (and a couple random questions)

With a couple of levels of EE the Armory is very easy, and you'll probably have that much by the time you get to it. You don't even really have to walk very far; hole up in the doorway of one of the buildings with the former humans in it and start shooting blindly down the hallway until the screaming stops. Since the Armory almost entirely a single tile-wide straight path, you can kill nearly everything in the level without having to actually be anywhere near them. If you're lucky one of the critters on the far end will let out the Arachnotrons, and you can kill them along with everything else. If not you can always blast open the doors and boogy back to cover, and then go back to shooting down the hall. Either way, the level isn't much more than a shooting gallery.
Never underestimate the power of shooting at targets in the black. Tripping over a map and being able to see all the baddies makes a level dead simple if you have the accuracy to start sniping.

Have you watched Game Hunter's videos (there is a sticky on the forum with a link to his youtube page)? Those might help you out. He has both a AoMr UV Gun Kata run and a AoLT HMP Sharpshooter run. If nothing else they'll give you an idea of how the builds work (to an extent). Of course both are slightly outdated (they were made in version 9.9.4) but still the main idea behind how it works stays the same (and both get you past Arena with nothing but a pistol). He has tutorials and such as well (again a bit outdated) so if that interests you by all means check them out. I enjoyed watching them when I was first starting to play the game (heck who am I kidding I still enjoy watching them they are entertaining).
ih8regin:
AoLT pistol run is likely easier, even if you get stringent with the ammo chain, because that boost of 20% is a great lot. Still, NO I wasn't watching them yet, mainly because being behind a proxy while being at these forums, and spending my free time (not much of it lately) actually playing :) And while I might do with MGK base (maybe taking HR as second trait, as it's needed for MGK anyway), I am targetting self to MSs as I don't yet understand how to get that high without straying off the build path.
Murkglow:
Up to Hell's Arena the Gun Kata run isn't any different then a Sharpshooter run (he just gets SoGs, no HR or DG or anything) so you can still learn how to do UV Hell's Area with a MSs build from the run (since up to that point they are exactly the same). Still it's up to you. If you can't or don't want to watch then that's fine.
Ashannar:
The most disappointing thing to me, as someone who really got into this game in 0.9.9.6, is that you can't just fire into the middle of a given level and kill everything like in Game Hunter's tutorials since the AI has been changed. I suppose I should be thankful that the game is more challenging now. :)
