I think the Nuke will be a cone a la Full auto.
They could do a PBAoE where you spin around (typhoon's spin/attack animation with guns instead of dual blades), but I expect the cone.
Call it Last Stand, add an animation where you quickly replace your standard ammo clip for extra long clips and then fire forward, to the side and then backward over your shoulders.
For the doubters here's a link.

I don't mind the idea of spinning while firing but it would have to be a slow, purposeful circular motion with no jumping. You know, arms fully extended to both sides and slowly turning around in a circle as you squeeze off round after round after round.

lol thinking matrix any1? 
I expect no snipe, and it to be the "claws" of blasters. Very fast recharging, very clicky. For effects, I could see it having at least immobilizes (knee cap shot).
hello blaster forum. I wanted to drop some things in here. how about a melee stun, pistol whip?
2. um, (looking at veats) would the devs be crazy enough to add more than pistols into the set? i already see some one has brought up re-hashing full auto. how about something new that would stretch the pistol set into a pistol theme?
3. and final. (looking at dual blades' combos) pistol combos? anyone? ok, how about we make it cool and has a draw back, like "combo dmg bonus/reload time?" so at the end of the combo you can't attack for 3 secs as if you are reloading ur gun, but would only take effect if you do the huge combo. OOH! i got an another idea no one will like, have the combo dmg bonus be based on you ACC and/or +to-hit. Call it headshot bonus or something. This would tackle lack of secondary... bah, sounds over powered already, nevermind.
peace.
I am hoping for some serious Gun Fu ala Equilibrium.

On this same track, I'd like to see a non-attack power such as Lightning Reflexes or Quickness, 20% recharge buff, in the set.
That'd still leave room for 3 single target attacks, 2 AOE's, 1 mez attack, Aim, and the tier 9.

Sounds good, as long as they don't resort to trick bullets for mez effects or AoEs. Someone has already mentioned kneecapping as a possible ST immobilize. You could also do something like a warning shot between a target's feet for a ST hold.
Ooooo! And the perfect Tier 9, Magic Bullet or Ricochet!
The experienced pistolier is able to quickly calculate trajectories and available kill shots so well that a few finely placed shots from each gun will cause each bullet to hit multiple targets with deadly accuracy as they ricochet madly throughout the area.
It's got a bit of a Grammaton feel to it.

For a short time. Every new powerset causes a rash of similar characters as folks try out the new sets.

This is my concern about the set after thinking it over last night for a while. With the AR set, it is at least somewhat plausible (even though it requires a hefty suspension of disbelief) that the weapon could deliver multiple types of munitions in one package.
With pistols, that can't happen. A pistol that also fires grenades would be flat out silly. "Exploding" bullets are equally stupid. So pistol AOE's would pretty much have to be cone attacks. Although, they could make an explosive AOE attack into actually throwing a grenade, rather than firing the pistols. A PbAOE attack, while still totally unrealistic, at least works thematically.
Mez attacks are tricky too. As already said, Immobilize could be the "kneecap" shot. Stun could be done as something like a Taser function, short range only. Not sure how to work in a Hold power.
Of course, the pistols could also be done as beam weapons, rather than old-fashioned kinetic projectiles. That would open up some possibilities.

Take out the second AoE in favor of another ST bit.
Also, I have an idea for the Aim. Make it an attack called Tracer Bullet. It would kinda be like Parry in the swords set. Not very much damage, but boosted Acc for the next few shots. And the animation would be neat.
Richochet sounds fun. So long as thety have that classic western richochet sound thrown in there!
I am still stuck on the "mez" being a Pb Pistol Whip thing.
Also, I was wondering about a power called "Speed Loader". Where after you click it, it boosts the speed of your attacks for a while.

I want a tier 9 like Zero uses in X-Men Origins:Wolverine. If you don't know it by the name that I am totally gonna make up for it(Shoot Out)...It's the tier nine where you take down a whole army without a scratch on you.
--+15% defense
--inferno level damage
--Endurance crash with HUGE red letters flashing on the screen..."Reload..Reload" like those old arcade shooters.
--Kick [censored] gun play like the movie...but it's really just a 60 ft 90 degree cone
Wishful thinking, but if we are gonna just speculate and make up stuff, it should be good stuff.

[/ QUOTE ] That's included in Aim for this set, to make it different from other sets. It's gonna be called Headshot. It's gonna have standard aim bonuses, but 20% recharge for the 10 seconds and 10% chance to crit for the shot. Again, wishful thinking.
Im just not seeing The Shadow as a defender. DP/Mind blaster perhaps.

My thoughts exactly. Mind Control + Dual Pistols...
Explorer: 93%. Achiever: 40%. Socializer: 40%. Killer 33%.
Current Heroes and Villains (altitis holding at 50 currents)
To all the devs, past, present, (and may there be) future: /salute
To NCSoft: Understand that you reap what you plant, and you cannot gain what you throw away.
Here's something I've been thinking about for a while though I don't see it getting implemented.
Instead of having AOE attacks (since for pistols AOE doesn't make too much since as said) what about having a couple if not all the attacks randomly attack another guy in the spawn. So you Shoot thug one with your attack but thug three gets shot with your other hand. Then there could be a couple where you should the same guy with both guns.
I think this would still give you AOE potential while keeping it more realistic to what someone who actually used two guns would do.
Also:
"Have you ever jumped into the air whilst firing two guns?"
"No."
"Have you ever jumped into the air whilst firing one gun?"
"No."
I wanna jump into the air whilst firing my guns!!! Don't ask me how it'd work, I dunno, I just want to do it.

I like this idea, gives us something new to try out, and would be very very cool to have all the combos as a blaster... like a Mega combo that will stun them, and then the final attack would be you run in the middile of the mob and take them out dantie style!
Like so many I can not wait for this to come out. But I am curious what some folks want in there. For my part I hope it is a single target MONSTER!! All if not most at mid to long range. The reason I love Archery so much is for the single target action it has. I am hoping for maybe 1 cone (if any) and 1 AoE. No more!
And if they make the close up one (stun) Pistol Whip, that will be cool. Beyond that lemme get some mad ST damage.
Also, I am curious, what do people think they want for a Nuke?
