Hand cannons are super weak and need to deal more damage and target acquisition.

Honestly they need to adjust the range stat on the sights. You have about 20 meters base range. I figure you get about 1 meter every 6 stat points. The sights that give range need to be competitive with the other stats. They need to double the range on sights that give range. Other than that I guess they are fine as far as where they fit with other weapons ranges and where Bungie wants them. There time to kill is another thing though.
