I've thought about this for a while now.
What is the point of the first ten shots in the clip? I always fire out the first ten shots and never reload. Does anyone even use the first ten shots, like ever?
Why not just have the weapon at 1 round 24/7 and make it so the weapon can't be reloaded at all? It would just have a bottomless clip and it would take health from the wielder with every shot fired. For the health loss, just make it so every time you kill an enemy you get healed for 40% of your Hp or something like that.
I use Touch of Malice in pvp and people always wonder why I fire out the clip every time I respawn, umm because the first ten bullets are useless.
Also, give this weapon Kinetic Tremors instead of rapid hit on its catalyst. I've seen people saying give it Precision Instrument but that would be op in pvp.

The competition is fierce for the primary slot. For example why use malice. When I can just use outbreak which doesn’t hurt me and can benefit from other players running it too. Then u have hunters with malfeasance with lucky pants (I know not as prevalent after the nerf but still). Plus malice suffers from it being a scout rifle as Bungie doesn’t want to give weapons with extreme range huge dmg buffs. They would have to buff it big time.
