You haven't played handcannons if you think that is long range for a hand cannon. Yeah, the vex has [i]horrrrrible[/i] recoil (you're so funny). I would like to introduce you to the sniper Felwinter's Lie, and the Auto Rifle Found Verdict. There are many many fusion rifles with extremely short charge times, and a neat little trick called planning ahead and charging before you're right in front of the enemy. You are trying to set TLWS apart in terms of how fast it kills, and sure it's fast, but so are other weapons, and those other weapons are much more effective at multiple targets [u]or[/u] range. (Just had to underline or there, because I know you would come out with "shotguns don't have range, and fusion rifles are good for multiple people")
