That seems a little odd... I wonder why its not done more? (Im not talking about from a "realistic rationale" POV, Im talking about from an anime production and mecha design POV.) I have a theory or two, but I'd love to hear others' ideas.
And the pistol, unless it's an energy weapon, is going to have limited amo. Granted, you could use two of them, but to me, the better weapon would be a rifle.
It could also be that it's harder to draw.
