Who cares what it looks like? (Besides I like the look) and it used so much because it's legendary, so you don't have to waste an exotic slot, and it has firefly and arc burn. Hawkmoon has no burn, prevents me from using something like icebreaker, g-horn, LoW, ect. and has a terrible reload. Forgive me if its not up there on my choice of weapon for PvE.
