The could use with a slight tune up. The hand cannnon is my favourite weapon in the game and I've been 100% set on using one with my Hunter since the alpha. They're ok enough in PvE but the reload speed puts you at a severe disadvantage in PvP. It doesn't feel like they out damage scout rifles enough to make up for the difference in magazine size and rate of fire. I think the idea to mitigate that is the armor piercing rounds we can get on rare/legendary hand cannons. Still, the stock weapon should be brought up. What I'd like is something like 1. 10% more damage per bullet 2. 15% increase of the crit multiplier 3. faster reload You can easily replicate your play style with a hand cannnon with a scout rifle right now and do a lot better. Hand cannnon should have its own niche as [i]the[/i] precision weapon and it should be rewarding. Also, for fun 4. headshot kills should send bodies flying
