The problem is that those pistols are so strong (or rather, the Akstiletto is so weak) that even at range firing in short bursts will kill things faster than the Akstiletto firing automatically. The Akstiletto isn't particularly terrible, but damage-wise they are far from great. They are pretty great for status builds, but the Akmagnus provides slightly less procs/sec for much better dps and MUCH better ammo efficiency. And you don't have to go through the hassle of clan research and spend a forma to build most other pistols.

TL;DR Say what you want, these aren't that great, and given the work to get them, they should be better.
