It's a hard hitting sniper with snapshot and lots of range (aim assist). I like it.
It's not very hard to get though. One person in my group got it on his 2nd normal nightfall clear, I got it on my 5th, my other friend got it on her 7th. They should make it drop only from prestige, or make it drop much more rarely...

The only issue I find with this is that its a PVP weapon you grind for in a PVE setting. It would be like if Trials rewards gave gear better for the Raid or Public Events. The loot is supposed to be thematic and in Destiny 1 they would give you damage buffs against the type of enemy primarily in the Strike. So in this case Silicon Neuroma should have an additional perk that does damage to Vex and/or Taken. And for the case of rarity, I agree its far too random and easy to get and it should only be in prestige . I got it on my first Nightfall this week and a 2nd copy 3 attempts later, while my team mates got none in all of 11 attempts over 5 hours.
