I think Bungie nerfed them into the ground. Without their range, they can't compete with scouts and pulses. I still see the Last Word around, but it will always be the fastest-kill hand cannon. Agreed? Sad to see their legacy end. Maybe, one update, they'll be back in all of their glory. Edit 1: yes yes the last word is still the most-used gun ever. Even after nerfing, that thing still destroys for some reason. Edit 2: First Curse anyone?
