Not sure if anyone has tried this yet, but the Stranger's Rifle you obtain from completing the campaign, post 1.1.1 patch, is now a frickin BEAST! xD
Two bursts will drop people with ease in standard PvP. I was having an absolute blast with it now that it has been tuned up to an awesome degree. I even had poor vex users on the run (and even got some hate messages at the end of a couple of rounds LOL).
Now if Bungie can just fix the host-lag issues, the Crucible would actually be my immediate go-to game type ;-)

I have a fully upgraded Stranger's Rifle and a Bad Juju, and in Crucible at least where level advantages are disabled, it's by far the better choice (not to mention, Juju has a design flaw with its featured perk, String of Curses). When it comes to Iron Banner, I definitely would use something else though than the Stranger's Rifle because it's fully upgraded damage is only 215.
