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 if they made hand cannons specials and shotty's primary it would solve a lot of issues. But I also think we have yet to see the really good Hand Cannons which will shine once you get more weapon upgrades on them and higher damage
