Comparing the basic stats of a pulse rifle and a hand cannon I will always use a pulse rifle, hand cannon wont see much use unless they can actually stand up to other weapon types, my suggestion is to increase (range and accuracy), (fire rate and stability), or just plain damage.

Yeah I can't see why anyone would pick a hand cannon over a scout rifle the way the two weapons play out now. Hand cannon definitely needs some work.
