Little bit of a different one today.

A few weeks ago I posted a lore question on DD about wether sidearms in Elite are lasers or bullets.

I got a response from none other than Mr. Drew Wager himself, so I can be 100% that both weapons exist in the Elite universe.

Drew told me that basically, laser pistols are more common in wealthier parts of society, whilst traditional bullet-firing weapons are more common in poorer places.

With this knowledge, I wanted to pose a roleplay question. Which type of projectile do you see your CMDR-self using? And why?

There will be a poll shortly.

Condidering that, even with the aid of gimballed weapons, from within the ship, I belong to those commanders that are hard pressed to hit a Coriolis station from the inside, I'd have to vote "Shotgun". If I had to shoot anything, that is.

Depends where I am. If I am heading towards the poorer places, swanning about with a Laser Weapon is likely to draw unwanted attention. So bullets for them down there.

However when rubbing shoulders with the wealthy, you need to look the part so Laser Weapon when in the richer zones

I bet you guys can't guess what colour my semi-automatic pistol is... ;)

It would depend. As one CMDR mention if they have personal shields it would matter, but all things being equal, I'm packing an elephant stopping bullet shooting hand cannon. Nothing says stop like a S&W M&P40 and hollow points.
