Hand cannons are what they are. Bungie apparently doesn't care if you can spam last word and do more damage per shot than a corrective measure headshot. All they care about is making the fanboys happy. I use fatebringer in crucible. It holds up we'll against thorn. 2-3 shots will kill someone depending on how they're statted. Hand cannons wouldn't be so bad if every other weapon hadn't been nerfed like 9 trillion times. Once upon a time suros use to rival a good hand cannon..... Until they nerfed it in to the ground anyways.
