MIDA Multi-Tool conspiracy! :O

So most of you are aware that the MIDA has a hidden perk (high caliber rounds) that was added by Bungie before the dark below in a patch. This perk exists before being upgraded at all, and it's very clear that this gun tosses enemies around more than others. But I'm here to posit that that's not the only hidden perk this gun has! I have 2 fully upgraded MIDAs and I just bought my third to run some tests with a non upgraded gun, and here are the hidden perks I believe this gun has... [b]Single Point Sling:[/b] [i]switch weapons faster, move quicker while aiming[/i] Even without the MIDA perk upgrade, (which boosts your overall movement speed) this gun still allows you to move quicker while aiming than other guns do. Also, switching back and forth between weapons is much faster than normal. You can try it for yourself! [b]Quickdraw:[/b] [i]this weapon can be drawn unbelievably fast[/i] Interestingly enough, the MIDA actually has QuickDraw in the upgrade tree, so this one might be not be real. But I have noticed that even without the QuickDraw perk turned on, the MIDA still draws ridiculously fast! And even when I do turn the perk on, I don't notice a difference at all, so I still believe QuickDraw may be built into the gun. [b]Snapshot:[/b] [i]aiming down sights is incredibly fast[/i] Ever notice how quick you ADS with the MIDA? It's absurd. I use Another NitC when I run my Gjallarhorn loadout for raids, and I use the snapshot perk on that, and it still doesn't ADS as fast as the MIDA. Yet the MIDA doesn't have the snapshot perk listed... That's odd don't you think? [b]Flared Magwell:[/b] [i]reload this weapon even faster[/i] This one almost doesn't count because the MIDA already has a maxed reload, but I haven't seen a weapon before that maxes out the reload with the flared magwell perk. Plus when you do select flared magwell, it actually brings up the reload speed on the stat bar, so I still consider this a "hidden" perk even though it's built into the stat bar. These are the only named perks I've found, but there's some other odd parts about the MIDA. Has anyone noticed that the MIDA has suspiciously strong target acquisition? It's not listed in any of the "sight mods", but I definitely feel that the MIDA has a hunger for headshots. It's almost difficult to not hit precisions with that weapon lol I have a 72% precision kill rate with the MIDA at around 15k kills. That's insane! It also seems easier to hit precisions from hip fire, which leads me to believe that it also has the [b]hip fire[/b] perk (added accuracy while firing from the hip). I'm also suspicious that it may have the [b]kneepads[/b] perk too (longer slide distance) but I haven't tested that at all yet. So what do you guys think? Have you noticed similar things? I think this would give an all new meaning to the whole "multi-tool" facet of the weapon. The cool thing is, these aren't your usual desired perks like [b]zen moment[/b] or [b]headseeker[/b] or [b]explosive rounds[/b]. These are just subtle, minor handling perks that we don't usually notice, but to me that's what makes the MIDA such a joy to play with. It has loads of handling mods, and the weapon just feels so glorious in your hands. Add the MIDA perk to increase movement speed, and the entire feel of your character has changed. Let me know your thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Interesting related thing I saw that goes in depth about stats and perks: http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2i75yk/all_about_weapon_mods/ Happy hunting guardians. #MIDAmasterrace Edit: many have brought of the hidden stats from this website: http://planetdestiny.com/mida-multitool/ I think this holds a lot of merit. That would explain all of the handling "perks" the gun seems to have (snapshot, QuickDraw, single point sling). The MIDA is incredibly high in "aim assist" and maxed in the "equip speed" stat.
