[i]Before I start I want to clarify, this will mostly be coming from a PvE perspective. I primarily play Destiny for its PvE content. I only know very little about this gun's performance in PvP. Anyways...[/i]
In one of their previous TWABs, [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50820#:~:text=We%20have%20a%20settings%20option%20in%20the%20works%20for%20a%20season%20after%20The%20Witch%20Queen%20launches%20but%20decided%20to%20put%20in%20a%20stopgap%20to%20help%20players%20until%20we%20are%20able%20to%20ship%20it.]Bungie has confirmed that they are working on a Full Auto settings option that will eventually be available during the season after Witch Queen drops[/url]. This allows not only the Legendary Semi-autos (with Full Auto Retrofit mod) to have a Full-Auto function but also the Exotic Semi-Autos like No Time to Explain.
Once the new Full Auto setting is implemented, they will most likely replace the Full Auto perk on most if not all non-sunsetted weapons.
So I thought, why not change No Time to Explain into a Stasis weapon and its Full Auto perk with Headstone? Why? Well, 1) it's a gun that synergizes well with Stasis, 2) it's a gun that wants you to shoot precisely, and 3) it gives it a pretty significant buff in PvE.
To elaborate on that last point, [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50829#:~:text=provocative%20balance%20changes.%C2%A0-,STASIS%20CRYSTALS%C2%A0,-Stasis%20crystals%20do]Bungie recently made changes to Stasis Crystals[/url]. To summarize its changes:
* In PvP
-- Now slow nearby players instead of freezing them.
-- Reduced crystal detonation damage vs players by ~55%.
* In PvE
-- They still freeze PvE combatants while forming.
-- Increased crystal detonation damage vs. PvE combatants by ~60%.
* For both PvE and PvP
-- Increased slow/freeze radius while forming from 1.75m to 2.6m.
-- Increased crystal detonation radius from 6m to 8m.
Headstone is an exclusive perk on Stasis weapons that allows such weapons to create Stasis Crystals on precision final blows. This should allow No Time to Explain to create Stasis Crystals and trigger Rewind Again easier even without equipping a Stasis sub-class.
This change should make it more viable in PvE content even if its Full Auto perk is removed and the player decides to turn off the new Full Auto setting (+being a Stasis weapon let you use Combat Style mods like Elemental wells with it).

I was thinking a random roll drop No Time To Explain in Master Empire Hunts would be cool.
