What's more important on a hand cannon?
Range or stability?
I'm new to hand cannons. Wonder if I should choose Hand Laid Stock or Rifled Barrel on my Lingering Song.

Depends on rate of fire for me. A fast weapon generally benefits more from stability than a slow one. If its a slower weapon though, then there's time to adjust your aim in between shots, so range is probably the way to go. Generally though, I favor range over stability on hand cannons since the y2 weapon rebalance

It depends. I have many max range hand cannons, but not all benefit from the extra range. My lord high fixer has max stability and I can fire at almost max fire rate with excellent accuracy at range. I do suffer harsher damage fall off though.

Range, because of bloom it's almost mandatory to have rifled barrel

Range. Less ghost bullets.

3 RepliesRange. Man, i really miss the days when HCs were great. I have an old FWC vanity and the thing is way better than palindrome. For range and stability, also impact, i THINK, is also better than Palindrome from vendor. Anyone else still have the old FWC HC? *I put it on my Hunter if you're curious

Range. Stability doesn't mean shit on high impact hand cannons, as they fire so slowly that by the time you can fire again you've already recovered from the recoil.

Edited by Dzho: 11/27/2016 4:49:23 PMTry them both. For me, it's stability. I have no idea why everyone has this fixation on range. I've used Eyasluna with rifled and the vendor palindrome. I never do as well with those as with my braced frame TDYK. Range seems to have no effect when I play. Edit: I didn't see which gun you meant. For high impact, if you're only using primary your ttk will be pretty low. Range would be much better for that archetype. It's better to land one headshot and follow up with an ability instead of gunplay when using a worse archetype.
