Probably going to get slated for this, but; Did anyone play CoD: Black Ops? Does anyone remember the Python Revolver from the multiplayer game? Well in CoD:BO when you were using that revolver ir felt meaty, killed with 2 shots up close and with 4 at a distance, and felt more like a primary weapon than a pistol sidearm. Check out the video above for some interesting facts and gameplay footage, and remember; with a 2-shot close range kill, that's 3 kills per magazine, that would bring the Hand Cannon into line with other Primary Weapons in Destiny.

Let me point some things out for you. I wouldnt personally mind if they buffed the damage. I just think it is very unlikely to happen because it would change the [i]established[/i] kill time by [b]33%.[/b] This is a lot. And they wouldnt change the actual [i]impact[/i] of the HC, they would change the [i]Critical,[/i] thus it would act exactly the same in PvE. Also the enemies in PvE do not have a set HP and damage relies more heavily on Attack. The [i]Primary[/i] vs. [i]Specail[/i] discussion has been going on since they actually moved it out of [i]Specials[/i]. The thing is, it isnt a "sidearm", and neither are [i]shotguns [/i]and [i]sniper rifles.[/i] And it would be the 5 shot HC that killed in two to the head. Not the 6 shot. Unless they buffed both damage and clip capacity. (not necessary)

Okay, you missed the point entirely there it seems, allow me to clarify: Hand Cannons currently have the same amount of ammunition as other primary weapons, meaning around 10 full magazines of reserve ammunition, so ten lots of 6 is smaller than 10 lots of 24 or 44 or 48, but talking in percentage terms, the HC uses a larger amount of it's magazine to effectively kill someone than other primary weapons. The HC also has a higher than average fire time to empty the magazine, despite having only 6 rounds, and has the longest reload time of other primary weapons in tests ([i]Check out the video above[/i]). As for criticals and impact, not what I was talking about, I was talking about damage modifiers, like don't affect the physics of the gun, just increase the modifier for damage done with that weapon from 1.0 to 2.0 or thereabouts. Meaning you get the same reaction form shooting a mob, but the number that pops up is higher. And to clarify further, a [i]Sidearm [/i]is a secondary weapon. Special and Heavy are not secondary weapons...by sidearm I mean the pistol you carry along with your primary weapon in most other games, like real life soldiers have an assault rifle and a back-up pistol. So when I say that the Hand Cannon does half the damage, and feels like a sidearm, I'm saying it doesn't feel like it fits into any of the Destiny weapon categories.
