Sidearm Variant

I realize this may not be a popular idea, as handcannons are the god mode gun of the game currently, but in my opinion hand cannons should be reclassified as a sidearm variant and take up a special weapon slot. The only situation that a pistol should be used over an actual automatic or semiautomatic rifle is in extremely close quarters combat, but certain exotic hand cannons are a multitool satisfying almost all the uses of weapon classes in the game. People that are highly skilled with said exotic hand cannon can do everything from killing shotgunners with two shots, killing snipers with two shots, and dominating the mid range game. With the release of trials I see that 2 out of 3 players on the enemy team almost always have hand cannons equipped. In the few situations where they dont have a hand cannon equipped they are either excellent snipers or built their class around their shotgun. Without nerfing these guns this would provide a solution to a problem many players see with this weapon class, as it would force the player to choose between a sidearm/hand cannon, a sniper, or a shotgun while still relying on automatic or semiautomatic rifles in the battlefield as their primary weapon.

  • A hand cannon is a pistol, right? Tell me what armies in the world carry pistols into battle as their primary weapons. If you can name some, then perhaps I will admit that bungie has a point making hand cannons primaries. But then sidearms should also be primaries, as there is no point in having some pistols be primaries and some secondaries. If I wanted to I could enter battle with two pistols, and it would be a viable weapon class no less. Because of that I proposed the former post.

  • Why do you think they're called hand cannons? THEY'RE NOT SIDE ARMS! The Vestiege Dynasty is a side arm
