I understand why people love the Hawksaw. It's got beastly base stats, and you don't need to do much to make it godly.
But trust me, once I get a Lyudmila-D with Counterbalance, a good secondary perk(Hidden Hand/Rangefinder/Full Auto) and either Hand-Laid Stock or Braced Frame, I'm gonna be laughing as I two- or three-burst all the Hawksaws in my path.
Hawksaw fires in three round bursts and hits for 27 crits on average. That's 81 damage if all shots are headshots.
Lyudmila-D fires in four round bursts, because it's Hakke, and hits for around 33 on headshots. That's 132 damage if all shots are headshots.

I got a Lyudmila-D with Counterbalance and Army of One from Armsday today, went into the Crucible and I was able to 2 burst enemies, and most of the shots weren't headshots.
