Seriously, I love this archetype. May not be the most efficient way to get kills, but I can't get enough of it.

Handcannons are very fun. From an experienced hand cannoner: Fatebringer> the last word> thorn> red hand 9> the devil you know> (insert hc here).
-
I got a legendary hand cannon and was using it for a while. The damage was very nice, but after a while I realized I kill more things faster with auto.
-
I need 50 vanguard marks then in trading in my scout rifle for "the devil you know", I have a feeling I'll have more fun with it. any one here tried both at legendary ratings for both? I'd love some info on the differences.

It's the first time that I can remember (since the Halo CE 3 shot kill pistol) that pistols have been given relevance. In every other shooter (including Halo) the pistol is always a secondary option only utilized in a last resort scenario. Bungie made hand cannons amazingly fun to use, a primary option, but most importantly, they make you feel like a utter bad ass! When I play crucible during the intro that show all the guardians I look for mine and say to myself "yeah, that's right! I have Thorn, and I'm going to get at least 20 kills with it..". I've never cared about any of the weapons in ANY OTHER SHOOTER I've ever played.. but I do in Destiny. That should say something.

Pulse rifles are better. Basically the same fire rate but they can do 102 damage per burst. Auto rifles are still better simply because of the accuracy and ease of use. They are more reliable.
-
After deciding hand cannon was the way to go, I got the Thorn bounty. Brutal, but to me it was worth it!
-
Last word ftw
-
I just got The Last Word last night. Don't know if its the best hand cannon, but it is definitely the funnest.
-
Honestly, during the beta and when the game first came out, I hated hand cannons with a passion. Since I first got Thorn a while back, I've loved hand cannons.
-
I feel like handcannons are the most used weapon in pvp. I see them all the time.

Fully upgraded [b][u]Thorn[/u][/b]. I Destroy people's hopes with it.
-
I use thorn

Edited by coltsrock11: 10/22/2014 11:12:37 AMI have Hawkmoon, fate bringer, devil you know, and lord high fixer. I got Hawkmoon from the hard raid and I can't get enough of it

Hand cannons and scout rifles in PvE and auto rifles In PvP
-
The Devil You Know will take your head off exceedingly great and with the utmost purpose and intent. It takes a special Guardian to wield a hand cannon properly in all circumstances. Welcome to the club...
-
I love me some hand cannon. I've broken down every other primary I got. Saving up Vanguard rep for The Devil You Know, although it seems like the explosive rounds were replaced with crowd control. Also praying to git my hands on a Last Word.
-
I used to hate hand cannons, couldn't stand the things...then fatebringer came into my life and changed everything I though I knew about hand cannons. Lol
-
The devil you know is the dankest of danks. I hope to be able to trade it out for thorn, however, once that is buffed.
-
Love my last word, venation III, the devil you may know, hawkmoon, not so much on the thorn
-
the last word, amazing . just the magazine size is a problem in pve
-
Favorite weapon class. I need Last Word for my collection
-
I really want The Last Word so much but the RNG decides to give me a Thunderlord and a Universal Remote today when I absolutely hate shotguns and the Thunderlords exotic upgrade isn't worthy enough to class the gun as an exotic.
-
I just got THE LAST WORD two days ago, its awesome close and mid range and it does a cool spin move when you select between secondary and primary weapons.
-
I was using Hand cannons on my Hunter but their maxed out so I am working on my solar scout rifle from the raid. One day I hope to have an exotic one.
-
people talking trash on the thorn I think it's awesome
-
I started a new character and I'm only using hand cannons, I have pulse and auto rifles in reserve but I haven't used them yet. And it's so much fun in crucible.
