I like using a hand cannon once in a while just to change things up, but outside of patrol or crucible they just arent a very viable option due to the limited ammo capacity they have.
Today while trying to kill Dharnu in the divide I ran out of ammo for my ace of spades and had to go kill two dregs to get some ammo and finish the fight.

First off, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing so keep that in mind when reading my post please Ok, so autos and hand cannons are designed and intended for the purpose of using up close and personal with the enemies. These same enemies that drop ammo for you (even in crucible you can get primary drops from kills). If you are fighting up close then you shouldn't run out of ammo
-
I used to have about 100 reserve ammo on the hand cannons without armor boosters, the reserve should be at least 200 without armor boosters. It's just too ridiculously low and since they also nerfed ammo drops... well... All these nerfs kill the fun in the game.
-
Getting a piece of armour that increase hand cannon ammo pretty much solves the problem. But I agree totally, there should be more. I blow through auto rifle ammo super fast too, a bit more wouldn't be a bad thing haha.

Hand cannons just need some love all around. It's like auto rifles in year one. They become so abundantly used and were so powerful that Bungie overreacted and nerfed them to hard. Autos and hand cannons need tweaking in order to compete with deadly pulse rifles and scouts

Scouts are way better

Edited by Jak Doom: 11/17/2015 9:13:26 PMBungie couldn't give two sh*ts for what hand cannon users want. They want us all to use pulse rifles all day every day for everything. P.S. and the conspiracy theory D

Seriously it makes it so that hawk moon is a must if ur thinking about using handcannons
-
Not just that. They need their accuracy back and their magazine clip size. Bump!
-
And scout rifles
-
Bungie thought that less ammo would create dynamic tension when we play and we would just get warm and fuzzy inside because of all the fun we were having running out of ammo all the time!
-
Bump - I'd like to be able to use my Hawkmoon any time, any place.

Dude I made the same post last week. Got plenty of support, It was ignored by bungie just like this one.
-
Kinda pissed my hawkmoon only hold 50 shots in reserve.

Bump. I love hand cannons, but run out of ammo all the time. In nightfall it's really annoying to run out, and then look around and see no ammo on the ground either. I end up running around grenadine or picking stuff for a white brick!
-
Yea this was another one of bungies not asked for nerfs. Hand cannons and scouts took a huge hit in ammo capacity and clip size. They also made the more ammo perks not work or changed them to total ammo carried. Just another way to screw players.
