Triggering Visceral Attack
After finally getting a decent understanding of Bloodborne's mechanics, I found out how to pull off visceral attacks (similar to Dark Souls' riposte/parry mechanic). However, I only seem to trigger these when I interrupt an enemy's attack with a well-timed shot from my Hunter Pistol. Is it possible to trigger a visceral attack using only your primary weapon? Are there any other ways to trigger these attacks?
