Ok, this is easy.

Get ResourceHacker, and run it

open your x-com game

on the left hand side click RCDATA then 1020 > 1033

your gonna see a lot of text.

scroll down until you see : Weapons=(iType=eItem_ArcThrower

 

Every thing to the right of that Weapons=(iType=eitem_ArcThrower is what makes the arc thrower.

 

Now look for the properties strings on the same LINE as your arc thrower (basically to the right of it), it should be properties[0] properties [1] ect ect...

 

Scroll to the right until you see Properties[0]=eWP_

 

this is a property of the weapon, and you want to change it so that it says:

Properties[0]=eWP_Pistol

Now it can be put in the pistol slot.

Click compile

then click save
