I got my Thorn today after getting 500 points of void damage in the Crucible and killing Xyor. And I was slightly excited (I'm never hyped or over-hyped about anything), until I saw its low potential.
It's impact is low compared to other hand cannons, the stability is too low (Gunsliger's trance isn't enough to mitigate it), it has only 9 rounds which I'll get used to, and a slow reload (Chain of Woe completely mitigates it).
The cosmetics of this weapon, in my standards, are awful, it's an ugly gun, looks averagely unique in third person and horribly deformed in first person. The green detail in the weapon looks ugly and evil, not my style, and when reloading I always mistake the magazine with a peace sign, when it's not, but it's probably just me. Anyways this weapon looks evil and it was created by a corrupted guardian, you see how I look by searching my name and choosing my Lvl. 29 hunter, Thorn definitely does not fit me.
Sadly I haven't upgraded it yet, Final Round seems useless to me, but the Mark of the Devourer upgrade seems promising, again, sadly, in forums I see everyone typing that it's minimal damage, like my incendiary grenade that does 7 damage every second for 3 seconds.
Well, I still have no complete right to vote on this poll since I haven't fully (or at least till MotD) upgraded it, I want to see the opinions on "Thorn" from its many owners in Destiny.
