I was curious (and bored) so I put together a chart of the damage dealt by all of the current hand cannons except TFWPKY...because I don't have it. I also included Fate Bringer since it's always a topic of hot discussion All kills were tested on level 33 Hallowed Knights and separately on level 33 Acolytes within a few feet to ensure maximum damage. [b]Hallowed Knights - Level 33[/b] Red Hand IX - 489 Thorn - 456 + 336 (DoT) Fate Bringer - 427 + Firefly up to 700 (w/explosive rounds 285 + 143) Timurs Lash - 540 Word of Crota - 437 + 277 The Chance- 489 The Last Word- 549 hip fire (416 zoomed) Venation III - 489 The Devil You Don’t - 437 TFWPKY - 489 *thanks Jdaniel28* Hawkmoon - 537 (716 luck in the chamber) *Thanks TheYerik* [b]Acolyte - Level 33[/b] Red Hand IX - 1172 Thorn - 1100 + 402 (DoT) Fate Bringer - 1024 + Firefly up to 700 (w/explosive rounds 683 + 342) Timurs Lash - 1296 Word of Crota - 1047 The Chance - 1172 The Last Word - 1316 hip fire (997 zoomed) Venation III - 1172 The Devil You Don’t - 1047 TFWPKY - 1172 *thanks Jdaniel28* Hawkmoon - *send me #s I'll add them* Of course figuring out which gun is the best comes down to other factors like the perk roll, RoF, and ammo which all factor into your DPS. And there's always your personal play style to consider. Either way I hope this helps pick out which hand cannon is right for you! Thoughts or questions?
