The Energy Pistol is quite different from other ranged weapons.  It fires a visually larger projectile that moves quite slowly, more than capable of missing its target if the target sidesteps.  However the damage on them is higher than the other thrown weapons, making up for that fact if the player is in close range.
Energy Pistols gain bonus damage from Dexterity, the same as all player-usable ranged weapons.

Pros
 
* Energy Projectiles seem to have infinite range.  They will continue until they strike something, be it an enemy or terrain.  The 'projectile storms' that occasionally appear seem to be caused by the projectiles striking some invisible barrier and bouncing back, crisscrossing the terrain to add damage should they strike an enemy.

Cons

===Common Energy Pistols===
* The projectiles seem to be slower than bows and thrown weapons, this can make it quite difficult to strike opponents that are moving sideways relative to the player.
