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.

I think either three things. A. The Hand Cannon should fire faster, but the damage should be regulated or lowered (or it will destroy everyone in PVP) Reload remains as is. B. The Hand Cannon should fire slowly but do more damage when it does fire. Reload time increased (Or it will be a PVP hand sniper rifle) C. The Hand Cannon should work as is, but with much faster reload time.
