Agreed. My major bugbear is the pistols, so your rifle is poop at long range shooting, just reach for that pistol and go sniping. Absolutely ridiculous. No sidearm should be that accurate over such long range and I will not accept the argument of it being a laser so it must be accurate. If thats the case rifles should be deadly accurate and all the weapons would be one hit killers.
Oh, and I disagree about facing aircraft, just go support, grab that demp then go lambda hunting 
Edit:
Just before one of the dev's or lore monkeys comes back to me saying how the DL-44 was famed for it's accuracy etc, please also look at it's effective range, 25 metres optimum, 50metres maximum, thats accuracy not the actual range of the projectile for those that may get confused.
