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.

You didn't put the Hand cannons on there? This poll is invalid. It goes: #1 most killed by Thorn, TLW, Hawkmoon #2 Felwinter's, two to, hand shake #3 tracking rockets/ heavy #4 Gold gun/ arc blade #5 Pulse riffles. Pulse riffle are not as good as you seem to think they are and they can't even play effectively on every map. If bungie hadn't messed up the auto riffle nerf so hard it would be ok.
