Your friends don't know what they're doing with it. In PvE, that thing is crazy powerful. It'll clear out rooms like nothing else can and melt down slow moving bosses unbeliever fast. Like most exotics, it's not perfect in all situations, but what it does well it does really -blam!-ing well. A lot of people complain about the rounds bouncing, but you just need to aim them the right way. Always shoot at the ground under the enemy and you'll destroy -blam!-ing everything. Seriously, it's a high powered napalm explosion. How could that not be awesome?
