Please, nerf them to the ground.
I do not want another entire season that revolves around 95% of people just using hand cannons. Give some other primary a chance.
I am tired of being killed by them, and tired of having to use them.

Everyone here that says hand cannons are easy to use or agree there should be a nerf are guaranteed 0.8 or lower. If you think spraying and sitting in the back with an auto or pulse takes more effort than landing every single shot to the head for max ttk and recorrecting your aim for every shot due to recoil, and still having a lower ttk value than pulses and autos, you are not one to talk about pvp. Generally good players prefer them. They’re good for peek shooting. They’re nicely paired with a shotgun. They get out ranged, outflinched, and dpswise outperformed by other primaries. If you call for a nerf of hand cannons simply because the people that usually beat you use them, you haven’t really put any thought into it. You will generally lose to good players every time if you are a 0.8 otherwise known as trash at the game. Based on the good players’ preferences, most of them use hand cannons, not because they’re better, but they better suit their play style and they are more enjoyable and skillful to use than other primaries. The reason you feel like you lose to hand cannons more is because you do. Good players usually use hand cannons because they’re good enough to slay out with them. Bad players that you can beat generally pick easier weapons like auto rifles, witherhoard, pulse rifles, fusion rifles, etc because they are much more straight forward for the simpler minded or people that don’t want to really try when they play. It’s just how it is. You’re gonna feel like you always lose to the weapon whereas you would have lost no matter what they use because a 2.0 will always beat a 0.8 and usually they run hand cannons. If we 1v1 I will 20-0 you no matter your loadout and I’m on old gen xbox one still. Chill out. Get better. Learn more about the game and countering good players. It’s not the hand cannons that make you lose when you don’t think through your engagements and know how to bait people and outsmart them. Pvp is more than just shooting targets. Maybe you need to think when you play rather than releasing your inner auto turret :)
