where d you get these statistics. first of all, a lvl 3 pistol against a 1 hive non-cara skulk takes 4 shoots to kill. Thus you can only kill at most 2 more skulks because of it. Unless your talking about using your lmg then whipping out your pistol, but then it isnt a result of your pistol script rather how much you hurt them before. Or unless you have enough time to reload then shoot again, but then its a result of bad skulking and i would hope you would kill it.
A pistol script is not all it is made out to be. When it does work properly (or if you know what your doing and configure it properly) your still limited by the level of your computer.

For both of those, the two main "skill" scripts, it is much better to use the non-scripted version. They both lock up your controls while using them, and they are inflexible.

to make the interface work so well that no scripts are desired (by those who know how to make things easier/quicker) is virtually impossible... short of making the whole interface customizable...
having to stop moving around/attacking, right-click, drag over here, drag over there, drag over here and finally click will never be as easy as letting someone look at what the final click does and say ok well i want pressing X to do that instead of me wasting the time to go all the way through the interface. the more things you can do with a single and close keystroke (as opposed to your finger having to travel halfway across the keyboard possibly removing your eyes from the screen) the better.
a similar thing has happened to CS's command menu... in its present form it's utterly useless since it simply cannot be used on the fly. The ns interface, specifically the popup menu, is just that... slow and clunky.
make the interface completely customizable to the point of class/race specifics and you'll have a start... or just sod off and let people script...

I thought it was obvious that I was implying that "3 more skulks" after I have already LMGed them.
