I also have never liked pulse rifles. Yesterday, I realized I didn't really have a legendary primary I liked that much which I wanted so I could run around with the sleeper. I have some good scouts but was looking for something I could use for closer range rather than my exotic autos. I had a Suros auto rifle but didn't like the feel. Also had the red spectre but still not quite right and was having a hard time finding something I liked. Decided to try the hacksaw out that I had in my vault and actually really enjoyed it. I would recommend if you want to give one a shot. Or if u get one from a package or engram try it before dismantling or infusing it.
