First of all I'll compare the P2K's and the Ion Pistol, it's true that you need 150k kills to get the P2K's, but if you already have the kills, the Ion Pistol is completely worthless.

Name - Ion Pistol
Freeze - 0.1575
Firerate - 0.225
Spread - 0.11
Clip - 20
Reload - 0.3
Bullets - 1
Auto - N
Stacked - N

Name - P2K(s)
Freeze - 0.1275 | 0.1475
Firerate - 0.265 | 0.2
Spread - 0
Clip - 16 | 32
Reload - 0.15
Bullets - 1
Auto - N
Stacked - N

On this comparison you can clearly see how the P2K's have better stats, being a gun that is bought with graalats. The only thing that the Ion Pistols outbeat the P2K's is the spread, which is completely good to have a spread of 0.11 by your side. As I said before, it's true that you need 150k kills to unlock the P2K, if you already have those requirements, I would rather be saving 200K and wasting 95EC, that is really more difficult to get than 200k graalats.

The next one is the Ion Sniper, in this one i'm comparing it with the Minigun, this time, you don't need any kill requirements at all.

Name - Ion Pulse Cannon
Freeze - 0.11
Firerate - 0.138
Spread - 0.02
Clip - 35
Reload - 0.9
Bullets - 1
Auto - Y
Stacked - Y

Name - Vulcan Minigun
Freeze - 0.1
Firerate - 0.11
Spread - 0.085
Clip - 50
Reload - 0.9
Bullets - 1
Auto - Y
Stacked - Y

The Ion Pulse have a lot of good stats, but yet, the minigun is better. The only thing that you can save is that the Ion Pulse got a shotgun (that it's not a really good gun) and that you have a normal walking speed by using the Ion Pulse. To be honest, the only good "pro" that the Ion Pulse has is the normal walking since the other gun it's not that good.

In my opinion, this two guns should be buffed, considering the factors I mentioned before, maybe a small buff, giving an advantage of the guns I had been mentioning.
100k Kills, the Jetpack helps the ION pistols in a boost in worth.
Plus, even with better "stats", the P2K doesn't seem that good compared to the new ion guns.

And how does EC compare to Kills/Gralats?

And the Pulse cannon IMO is way better than the minigun.
Considering the shotgun is a menace to be reckoned with, and the pulse cannon itself is a pretty beast of a weapon when you add the stats all together + normal walking speed.

It honestly doesn't need much of a buff at all, or any.

And you said "Ion Sniper" but put down Pulse cannon instead.
