you spawn with it and its the only good starter gun, and the assault rifle is no GOOD. thats it. agree? disagree? idk
Totally agree,it is renowned for being so overpowered 
That’s just how Halo 1 is, Pistol is the go to gun. Basically need to just get used to it. I love it!
3 shots and you’re dead lol
Still one of the best weapons in the entire series.
That pistol can kill a Hunter with one shot, thats too much OP
