Solution to Hand Cannon Problem

Hand cannons as you know (even though some people like using them still) fall very short in the primary category. So, I had an idea. We can move the hand cannon to the special slot and do one of two things: Make it extremely powerful with only about 15 shots total (5 or 6 in cylinder). Making the gun like a sniper that will one shot headshot and two shot body shot. This can be balanced by both a very very low rate of fire, and a slow reload. -OR- You can keep it like it is but in the special slot, as a less powerful special in trade for having much more ammo in reserve opposed to only 15-18 shots maximum. Let me know what you think about that, if you have any questions or suggestions in the idea, I'll respond and change whatever I see is a good idea. Post your ideas here as well! Edit: Somebody mentioned that they don't agree with the one shot headshot. I forgot to mention that it's only one shot if you are very close to your enemy, like a little longer than shotgun range. (longer so that it balances the gun with shotguns at close range if you are accurate). This should make it a marksman's favorite, if you hit a shot, you get rewarded, if you miss, or get a body shot at close range, it will get you killed almost every time. Edit #3: As far as suggestion 2, any RoF buffs and other things that would be needed to make the primary up to par could be changed there. I just thought move the hand cannon we know to special so you can carry a rifle with you, as well as that hand cannon you love, not one or the other, and that will solve the problem of it being slightly lacking in ammo, you have your rifle as backup rather than having to switch to a special with only 15 shots, and hope you get primary ammo from it. [spoiler]This whole idea is a concept. It could fail, it could explode, it could be lost forever, I just want to see where it goes.[/spoiler]
