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"?

Edited by run: 7/24/2014 8:43:06 AMOk this is how I use hand cannons I LOVE the in PvE I get headshots for days and the hunter head shot reload perk makes it amazing. Now in PvP on the other hand... It's lack luster, I could use a boost. I find my self just using a pulse or auto rifle instead. So I'd go with PvE hand cannon. PVP auto or pulse or scout. EDIT But I have been practicing with it and it can do major damage but just really needs a boost. Now I ether I use a pulse/auto or a hand cannon 50/50 depending on my mood.
