How do you feel about hand cannons now?
Hand cannons seem to have gotten a slight buff but not near enough. Why would I choose a hand cannon versus a scout rifle when they have pretty much the same damage per shot but one has almost twice as many rounds and a higher rate of fire and both equally accurate if the scout rifle is not more accurate or at least a little easier to aim. The hand cannon can't even get a one shot kill head shot on level 8, granted the scout rifle cannot either but with the limitations the hand cannon has ammo/ROF wise I think it should be a lot more powerful. Literally not enough bang for my buck on the hand cannon. Maybe there are better ones in the full game? But right now they are still resembling what should be a "secondary weapon" not a special but a secondary. Like an "oh no I'm out if rounds in my primary better switch to the last ditch effort to make it outta this!"
Any other opinions on these so called "cannons"?

They are incredibly hard to use when compared to the other weapons types but the payoff is no joke. I've played with a fair few top PvPers in Destiny, and I notice if they have a decent HC then they use it. Obviously some maps dictate variety, but the biggest change to handcannons was the improved accuracy to jump shots. This one change has made The Last Word the be all and end all of PvP Weapons. I don't own it, but I know well enough the hip accuracy is more than capable of destruction when in range and jumping around. As for PvE, I use my HC in hard mode raid up until Atheon oracles. 2 crit shot kill on anything, and a quick reload due to Hunter perks.
