Best Hand Cannon? is it Thorn?
What's the best hand cannon? I went through the pain of getting Thorn. Though it looks cool, it sucks. Reload is slow.
Can anyone confirm damage for fully upgraded Handcannons?
Handcannons are hated on already. My problem with Thorn is getting it. It is a hard bounty then you get one of the coolest looking weapons in the game that just does not pull its weight. You have the Last Word and Hawkmoon that can be obtained a number of ways and it is better than Thorn. You actually have to earn Thorn by finishing the long bounty.
since this Post started I have acquired TDYK, Timur's Lash, and Hawkmoon [finally]. I also have been using Thorn a lot. My feedback is with TL, you can get great unique re-rolls through the IB reforge system. Thorn is funny to use! Shoot at the ships and you'll see what I mean. Overall it is actually very powerful. Great impact. Easy target precision acquisition. By far though, Hawkmoon is the most balanced. Hawkmoon has ridiculous range and accuracy.
Edit: Asking for damage of fully upgraded HC

Should've seen it before the buff. Only 6 rounds and half the reload speed it is now. Thorn now contends with the other handcannons quite well. It's because of those special bullets it has that calls for the reload speed and low round count. You do damage without even looking at them. Just fire and forget. And because of its low clip it's easier to get to that last round. The round that does a nice bit of extra damage. Try it it's nice. It does have its place amongst the exotics and any veteran Thorn owner will tell you the same. Also Thorn can 2 shot in crucible if you get headshots.
