The notion of High Risk/High Reward is very much a special weapon characteristic. The sniper rifle has almost no use at close range, the shotgun has next to no range and the fusion rifle has a delay/charge time for every shot. Why not make a gun with limited clip size that specializes in headshots into a special weapon instead of a primary weapon? IMO it'll encourage people to actually use it.

NO. Hand Cannons are the only Primary I actually enjoy using, and I know I'm not alone. Look at the other Primaries: -Auto Rifle -Pulse Rifle -Scout Rifle Notice anything... repetitive about that list? In pretty much every shooter out there, you're stuck using a rifle all the time. Destiny changes that and I love it. Keep Hand Cannons where they are, buff them in some form or fashion, and call it good.
