Hand Cannon or Scout Rifle

I love Hand Cannons and Scout Rifles. Sadly RNGsus has not seen fit to bless me with either. But I can buy one from the Vanguard Quartermaster, but I'm having trouble deciding between The Devil You Know hand cannon and the A.1F19X-Ryl scout rifle. Which do you guys suggest?

  • So hand cannons are great for close damage, but I prefer greater range. I also like the Firefly effect on Scout Rifles. Additionally the ammo capacity and reload speeds are a godsend as well.

  • Your armor already has hand cannon perks on it, go for Hand Cannon

  • Fatebringer hand cannon and it has arc damage and dat impact <3 Also precision kills cause target to explode you can also add explosive rounds for when you go into pvp and cause other people to miss when firing back at you or do spins looking for whatever is cause the screen shake lol max ammo 12 field scout adds more to it

  • I like my scout now took a lil while to get used to it as was primarily an AR guy but the Mida Multi-Tool just kicks to much A$$ it's even good for PvP

  • TDYK has a heavy range falloff but still hits hard. The scout rifle after the hotfix is now more accurate than a sniper at any distance you just need to keep upgrading it to get the good scope. Yesterday i was sitting on top of a big rock on mars between the vex and cabal fight popping the heads off vex so they would go terminator on the cabal. priceless! the scout rifle now takes 4 to 5 shots to down the normal minotaur at that range (one damage upgrade) and TDYK cannot reach that far.

  • def the hand cannon. The Devil you know has so much stopping power and i find the range on the hand cannons to be great.

  • PvP or PvE? PvP probably hand cannon, PvE the range of the scout makes it tough to pick against. My thoughts anyway.
