I agree 100%. I have been a HC user since day one and still just can't stay way from them. I have somewhat enjoyed Finalla's Peril, Eyesluna and First Curse but they pale in comparison to The Fulcrum, Red Hand, Timur's Lash and Lord High Fixer of old. At no point were HC meta...maybe Last Word and Thorn but there was never an overwhelming number of players using legendary HC (like people using MIDA right now). The range is fine I believe but the "cone" is awful. If we are talking about realistic mechanics, then HC should be close to low mid range. They should also be the hardest hitting primaries for sure. Also just to clarify, (to some posts below not you OP) it's sidearm not hand guns. I understand why some folks refer to them as this but to avoid confusion we should use the term given to them. Hand cannon= Imago Loop Sidearm= Iron Wreath

Thanks for posting and yes I said hand guns which confused a few people. I mentioned specifically the first curse quest which is obviously completed with a primary. Before the accuracy was even worse and that challenge was a BITCH. In terms of accuracy the cone is terrible and needs a buff. In pve the hand cannons are dwarfed by the scout rifles and due to range fall off even the damage is usually better for scouts. Combined with 180-200 rounds vs 60-66 for hc the damage is way better for the scout class.
