pistol whore

term originated by scrubs who would get consistently beaten to a pulp in halo: combat evolved by superior marksmen. the pistol was extremely powerful, so only an idiot would choose the cool-looking covenant weapons. despite their inherent coolness, (what with being alien weapons and all) they were simply inferior to the m6d pistol. since they consistently died from the three-shot kill of a talented pistoler, scrubs began justifying their embarr-ssing losses by calling their (superior) opponents “pistol wh-r-s.” see example 1.

in halo 2, anyone who is proficient with any weapon and regularly chooses it will be called a wh-r- of that weapon if it is what they consistently use well to defeat players of lesser skill. a player that uses the battle rifle frequently and skillfully to achieve a high win-loss ratio will invariably be called a battle rifle wh-r-. this applies to any weapon in the game, no matter how available it is to all players, or how little/much skill it takes to either wield it or defeat someone wielding it. see example 2.
example 1:
me: crack! crack! crack!
g-d: game over!
scrub: o my god you pistol wh-r-! use a weapon that takes some skill u n00b!!!

example 2:
me (with battle rifle): brrt! brrt! brrt! brrt!
g-d: game over!
scrub: o my god u battle rifle wh-r-! use a weapon that takes some skill u stupid n00b!!!

example 2.1:
me (with sword): whoosh!!!! whoosh!!! whooshhsh!!!
g-d: triple kill!
scrubs (x3): omg u f-cking sword wh-r-!!! get some skill u noob!!!
a word to describe someone who snipes with the overpowered pistol in halo 1. and they snipe a lot. that problem doesn’t come up in halo 2. (but now you’ve got duelweilding plasma pistol/smg wh-r-s)
