CQC is a more immediate/melee range focus, but i see some wisdom in at least having a pistol/sidearm as he bloody well can't start lobbing bullets at people who won't get close enough for a fist and can't be snuck up to. i just don't know much about the different kinds and styles of firearms available even today. and it's a immediate range stun gun. allows for 'taser-punches' and i'm thinking of having him upgrade with a second on the right wrist later on. i chose cqc since we seem to have a lot of firearms guys, and it ballances the sniper well. who better to watch the sniper's back than someone who doesn't even need a gun to put enemies down and can be just as stealthy? that's my thoughts on it, anyway. i hope that answers your queries, and if you have any firearm reccomendations, do feel free to share, sir.
