Remember that pathetic gun called the "Stranger's Rifle"? Well, anyone who has played much crucible since 1.1.1 went live knows pulse rifles got some love, and this one in particular will take you out like a "pre-nerfed Suros Regime" on crack!
I just want to highlight the obvious over-correction Bungie made when balancing the weapons in PVP. Don't get me wrong, I think Bungie is on the right track (however frustrating it is to endure) in their efforts to make more guns relevant, but I do believe that in this latest "adjustment" Bungie has inadvertently caused many other well-loved guns to become nearly obsolete.
Here's to hoping release 1.1.2 will bring pulse rifles back from the stratosphere, down to a comfortable cruising altitude.

Where's the Hand Cannon option?
