I like dual pistols because they are cool looking, and any secondary weapon is just that, secondary. Everyone uses primary to kill things efficiently. Maybe you are M13 but you are forgetting accuracy. Pyrana has a 5 accuracy (vs AKStiletto's 23.5) so you have to be very close or you will not hit much of anything, wasting 180% multishot more often and/or wasting firing time while getting close enough to the mobs. Twin Gremlins have 50% less accuracy than AKStiletto, better than Pyrana's 5 accuracy but you still have to be fairly close also. AKStilleto fires 9x more bullets per second than Pyrana when considering fire rate, magazine clip and reload time, and since it is a dual weapon you end up doing 50% more non-crit DMG than Pyrana.

With Amo Mutation maxed you don't run out of bullets, except for endless missions but you should use primary on those. Factor in ATK buffs and mob debuffs from other players and more bullets seems better to me. It is a preference matter, but I rather fire for 3 secs and reload for 1 than fire for 1 sec and reload for 2 like with Pyrana, but then again I don't play speedy frames for the most part so your milage may vary if you prefer closer encounters, and for that Twin Gremlins are pretty decent with a speedy frame and Gunslinger mod.

Dismissing a weapon because of amo issues which in AKStilleto case can be solved with one mod, or favoring slow fire rate with longer reload time weapons because they are more efficient is a bit short sighted. Of course they are more amo effecient, so are semi-auto weapons and bows. While AKStilleto may not be the Pistols of DOOM, they are a good all-aound weapon. You have to consider the whole package.

When in doubt, looks > all, and the reload animation of the AKStilettos is simply awesome :P
