Hand cannons seem to have gotten a slight buff but not near enough. Why would I choose a hand cannon versus a scout rifle when they have pretty much the same damage per shot but one has almost twice as many rounds and a higher rate of fire and both equally accurate if the scout rifle is not more accurate or at least a little easier to aim. The hand cannon can't even get a one shot kill head shot on level 8, granted the scout rifle cannot either but with the limitations the hand cannon has ammo/ROF wise I think it should be a lot more powerful. Literally not enough bang for my buck on the hand cannon. Maybe there are better ones in the full game? But right now they are still resembling what should be a "secondary weapon" not a special but a secondary. Like an "oh no I'm out if rounds in my primary better switch to the last ditch effort to make it outta this!"
Any other opinions on these so called "cannons"?

Edited by tanis38: 1/7/2015 5:15:40 PMWhat hand cannon are you using? I get one shot kills on level 30 mobs with my hand cannons. And the damage is not pretty much the same as Scout rifles. Hand cannons deal much greater damage. Especially if you are using them correctly. A hand cannon is a skill weapon where you should be getting (or trying to get) only head shots. Often times with my Hawkmoon I fire off my 13 rounds and that equals 13 kills (unless majors or ultras were involved). If you are consistently getting body shots with a hand cannon you are using them wrong. EDIT: whoa, just noticed the date of this post. How did it end up at the top of my feed? lol
