Thorn isn't op, hand cannons in general are. They have approximately the same range as a scout rifle, but a lot more impact. What I personally think should happen is not a nerf, but a buff for every thing else. The reason being is even though I said earlier that hand cannons are op, that statement is in comparison to all the other guns. Really hand cannons are where they're supposed to be, and I could say pulse rifles are too, but scouts could use a small damage buff, and auto rifles could use a buff. That's just my opinion thought.
