Even with so much no land beyond / sidearm usage, I still hold that it takes skill to use that weapon. It was at one time my favorite gun in the crucible when its usage was much lower. They're about to fix the flinch, but at this moment you have to treat it as you would a sniper rifle in year 1. Meaning you can't just stand your ground, you have to strafe, jump, etc just as if you were dueling with hand cannons. All that is about to change anyway with the flinch correction to the gun and the sidearms no longer stacking ammo.
