Thorn Needs a Buff
More specifically, it needs a range buff. Let's put the Thorns past aside and remember that at the end of the day, it's an exotic weapon. The thorn was perfectly balanced when it was nerfed post year 1. The range nerf made it super weak to the point where even the last word can outgun it in the further hand cannon ranges. I'm not asking for a damage buff, or a stability buff, or a buff to its venom. I'm just asking that it be given a bit more range so it can perform well in hand cannon range.

most hand cannons of this damage arc type have far better hidden stats. As a new user to thorn never using in years past I feel it needs the range buffed by 10(maybe this increases aim assist a little also), and a faster reload. I would not mind seeing it go back to the original 6 rounds(I barely ever get to final round anyways) and increase reload speed by 10 more also. Along with this I think the gun should get a starter perk that kills or assist increase reload speed(on the same scale as feeding frenzy) or maybe just give it feeding frenzy or spray and play(which would go with final round). So +10range, +10relaod, -3 rounds, and starter reload perk.
