Hand cannon Ghost bullets: Should not be a thing!

Hand Cannons are fine right now

They need a buff again, just a bit

Hawkmoon needs to stay dead! (says my clan mates)

But sadly it is. I spent a bit with my team in a Rumble game to test this, using several hand cannons: Hawkmoon First Curse Last Word Finnala Peril Eyasluna Imago Loop The test was how many shots per clip would ghost bullet, and for those wondering what that means, bullets that just vanish the moment they leave the gun. Each test was done ten times. Fan firing each gun, the one with the biggest problem that I saw was Last Word, 7/10 of the tests with it had several bullets go missing. Bullets needed to make the kill... which at that point a shotgun from the other person would have finished the job. Hawkmoon had this problem as well, but only happened 4/10 times. Still, that shouldn't happen, and it happened mostly when I was aiming for the head. Even slowing down, I noticed bullets will never register as a head shot or at all from time to time. Now the First Curse I had no issues with at all, every shot was consistent and hit the nail on the head. The only problem is if you fan fired it (constantly hitting the trigger) the recoil would get it if you don't correct it. But if kept controlled, it's very good about having each shot hit the mark. Eyasluna, had similar results to Hawkmoon actually. Many of the bullets just... vanished upon firing. Even slowing down. Imago felt very consistent more so than Hawkmoon and Luna, in the tests only 2/10 tests had ghost bullets. Finnalas on the other hand, I had no ghost bullets in all ten tests. Not saying if I did more tests there could have been some vanishing bullets, but it was all around solid. Now my question is this... is this because of the accuracy nerfs that happened to Hand Cannons? I know Hawkmoon had a higher base aim assist than 50 at one point and was a head shot shooters dream gun. I remember them returning the accuracy to hand cannons at one point in 2.0.1, yet does the low aim assist factor into that as well? Am I the only one who wants something like the Hawkmoon and Eyasluna to be usable?
