In terms of actual damage, the autopistol is clearly an early game weapon, found on early game raiders, so should be compared to other weapons of its caliber: | In terms of actual damage, the autopistol is clearly an early game weapon, found on early game raiders, so should be compared to other weapons of its caliber: | ||

*Bows - Autopistols have the same maximum range as a [[recurve bow]]. The pistol is superior to all bows up to short ranges, and only beaten by the [[great bow]] from medium range onwards. Unless you need the greatbow's range, or have a high [[quality]] recurve bow / greatbow, there is no reason not to upgrade to the pistol. | *Bows - Autopistols have the same maximum range as a [[recurve bow]].

* [[Bolt-action rifle]] - less clear cut. The pistol is significantly superior within short range, while the rifle is both significantly superior beyond this and has a significantly longer range. Rather than direct competitors, this makes them naturally complementary with each other, each covering their effective ranges. | * [[Bolt-action rifle]] - less clear cut.
