Anyone who says Three Little Words has no idea what they're talking about. Take it from someone with a 3.0+ K/D.....Coiled Hiss is the best out of the bunch. I have all 4 of those pulse rifles maxed out and have tested each one in Crucible. Time on Target is decent if you get both perks to activate, but usually you won't have both perks active at the same time...so I opted not to continue using it. 123 Syzygy is okay, but you have to empty your clip to use the perk on it. I found that I hardly ever let myself run out of ammo to the point where the perk kicks in. Also, when aiming down sights the view is narrower than other pulse rifles. Target acquisition is not optimal. Three Little Words is WAY TO SLOW. People will argue that you can 2 shot kill with it, but don't let that fool you. 90% of the time you're going to still need that extra 3rd shot. If you really want to get into detail, the Stranger's Rifle can also 2 shot kill with aggressive ballistics...and it shoots faster than Three Little Words. But again, 90% of the time you're not going to kill in 2 shots...you'll need to shoot 3 shots to finish your kill...which means that the time to kill is increased dramatically. Lastly, Coiled Hiss. 2 Stability perks + fast reload after every kill. You will be using these perks ALL THE TIME in PvP. Not just sometimes...ALL THE TIME! Aside from the best PvP perks...the view when aiming down sights is very wide and clear. Target acquisition is extremely easy with the wide open red dot sight. With the highest rate of fire for a pulse rifle and laser accuracy....it's extremely easy to land your 3 shots for the easy kill. In fact, if you get your shot spot on...you should never lose a 1v1 battle unless it's against TLW or Felwinter in point blank range. Speaking of close range, the Coiled Hiss also has very accurate hip firing. Many times when someone moves in on me I can get the quick kill with just hip firing. Again, I've used all the pulse rifles extensively in Crucible, and I promise you....Coiled Hiss has the best setup for PvP. I have a lot of videos posted to my account on Xbox that show Coiled Hiss gameplay. Once you see how insanely good that gun is then you won't ever look at another pulse rifle again. On that note, I will admit that as much as I love the Coiled Hiss...I recently had to switch over to Thorn because when playing in sweaty matches...anything besides TLW or Thorn just doesn't cut it. If you want to do well when playing against the top players in the game...you gotta use TLW or Thorn. If you want a more fun weapon to use in pubs...then Coiled Hiss is your answer! EDIT: Auto pulse rifles are not great IMO. You burn through your clip way to fast, and you're not able practice timing your shots like you should be. Pulse rifles usually have small clips, so every shot wasted means that you have less of a chance for any multi-kills. Auto fire on Pulse Rifles usually shoots extra shots and wastes ammo in the clip. That's a no no. Learn to time your shots...not hold the trigger. You'll get many more kills this way. EDIT: Wanted to mention Stranger's Rifle also. It's a 3 shot kill, but shoots slower than Coiled Hiss. Do you want a 3 shot kill that shoots slow, or a 3 shot kill that shoots fast? The answer should be obvious...
