Golden Gun is basically Hammer of Sol…

Only you need to aim, it has 3 shots instead of 5, has no health regen, has little armor, has a shorter super time and shots have no tracking. Yes, it can shoot cross map, but that's about it. So I understand why it doesn’t need a buff and Achlyophage Symbiote got a nerf. :-) EDIT: Reading the reactions I don't think many people get my post. I'm only comparing the supers in a sarcastic way. I'm not comparing the neutral games. Gunslinger has a very fun and good neutral game. I don't know about sunbreakers neutral game. It has great grenades and armor, but I don't know how the rest is. If you don't use golden gun on a regular basis it's maybe hard to understand what I mean. Where hammer of sol, nova bomb, stormcaller and blade dancer have very forgiving supers (a very big hit box), the golden gun does not have a forgiving super (very small hit box). If you shoot someone in the hand or foot for example with a golden gun that will not count as a kill. If you hit someone in the foot with a hammer, nova bomb, arc blade or stormtrance that guardian will surely die. Also there is a delay of about half a second between when you shoot someone with a golden gun shot and when that guardian dies. So if you shoot someone and he doesn't die as fast as you would think he would there are 2 options: shoot again and waste your second of only three bullets. Or wait and if he doesn't die you die. On top of that it is baffling that golden gun does not have either a little armor or some form of health regen after a kill. When I play as a blade dancer I can just jump in between a group of guardians and jam the buttons as fast as I can without looking in the direction of any guardian and I still get kills AND health regen. I don't know why people think blade dancer needs a buff. Never had any problems with it. On top of that the lag problems Destiny has since day one and Bungie has yet to solve, makes golden gun is very unreliable to use. If your opponent lags and you shoot with golden gun it will not give you a kill. If you do the same with arc blade, a hammer, storm trance, a nova bomb or a fist of panic it will give you a kill. With the absence of armor and health regen and the amount of lag Destiny provides it should only be fair to give golden gun a slightly bigger hit box and to remove the 0.5 seconds delay between hit and kill. THAT'S my point. I don't advocate a sunbreaker nerf. I never said a hammer = a bullet. Never. They are both roaming solar supers and that's why I compared them. I could've done the same with golden gun and storm trance.
