I seem to prefer having a trusty pistol by my side, in addition to my assault rifle/sniper setup. Stealth Pistols are the king of medium range headshots, especially with a scope. A single stealth pistol headshot will kill any NSF trooper, and 2 shots in rapid succession (about the time it takes a sniper rifle to shoot and stop recoiling) will kill any MJ12 soldier, and the SP is a lot faster to acquire a second target. Heck, I've even taken out an MIB with ~7 rapid headshots. Unless I'm facing a huge mass of enemies, when it might just be better to toss a LAM, I found the S. pistol a tad more effective than my assault rifle.
It doesn't hurt that pistol ammo is lying around everywhere in the world of Deus Ex as well :D

Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.
