It was the original Hammer of Sol. A sub-orbital laser. The Deuce of Zeus. With this glorious engine of destruction upon your shoulder, [u]all[/u] were smitten.
Not only was it's blast as mighty as Hulks Camaro, it sent forth [i]tracking freaking cluster bombs[/i]. Elemental shields fell like tattered leaves, followed immediately by a furious barrage of atomic death. Oh the stories of horror that must be told to the frightened children of alien foes throughout the galaxies....
Tales of the lone Guardian that felled Crota, Skolas, the Archon Priest, and countless others, even those thought to be unbreakable.
Yeah, it was pretty good.

Hater edit: there are actually Y2 newbs who never experienced the true Gjallarhorn, and maybe received it from a legacy engram or whatnot. This post is for them, and those who fondly remember it, and perhaps wish to share their favorite memories. If you wanna hate on Gjallarhorn, make your own post.
Love edit: thanks for the awesome replies, Guardians. Sorry if you shed tears, but take it out and use it! You'll feel a little better :')
