This class of guns need to be primaries. They always spawn with ammo, just like primaries, making the need for secondary ammo irrelevant. They will now dominate everything. Goodbye snipers and shotguns and that other weapon type nobody bothers with, we now have constant ammo with our new sidearms.
The whole point of the secondary class is powerful weapons with less ammo, that is now ruined by literally putting primaries in the secondary slot.
So bungie fix this mistake immediately and put secondaries in the primary slot where they belong.
Edit: everybody needs to go look up the definition of burlesque

Edited by Trando: 5/19/2015 12:55:32 AMThe sidearm weapon class is probably going to function very much like a toned down hand cannon in a semi auto pistol shaped package. It'll be more of a quick finisher weapon than a damage dealer. Think about it, there currently is not a mid range secondary that can be drawn and fired effectively when you run out of ammo when shooting an enemy. All the secondaries function as primary damage dealers, this class will be a collection of "NITC" styled weapons.
