A little question about hand cannons.

Alright so ive put a crap ton of time into destiny since day one. And ive always been a rifle guy, Assault, pulse, scout, sniper, it doesnt matter, if its a rifle then i make regular use of it. Now recently my brother got the game and hes suggested i try hand cannons. So i remade my warlock and started using handcannons and i love em. But i find my inner sniper wanting a bit more familiarity. So my question is, are there any good handcannons with a long range scope at all?

  • For hand cannons either go like this, If it has high rate of fire, go for stability, if it has low rate of fire go for range, usually slower means more impact

  • No, but you can increase the range and accuracy on some. It's called the send it perk.

  • No physical scopes attached to hand cannons. I've actually learned to LOVE not having a scope/sight. You never realize just how much of your field of view the scope takes up until you go without one for a while. Sure, the zoom is way smaller, but there isn't the outline of your sight impeding your vision. And while you may not have the long range optics for hand cannons, any cannon that has the "send it" perk increases (massively) effective range and accuracy. If you use it correctly, it's pretty much the sniper rifle's little bruiser brother. _Ohuigin

  • The Last Word's stability should allow high accuracy at a longer range than typical hand cannons. Plus it looks amazing and has amazing gun animations.

    • The devil you know is one of the better guns. Its got a bonus that almost doubles your range.

    • Nope, but you'll do fairly well hitting long range targets with an accurate handy cannon.

      • As of right now there isn't one with a scope no (prob never will) but if your looking for a longer ranged hand cannon then Hawkmoon is your best bet at the moment it is the best hand cannon for longer range
