Hi all,
Which primary weapon do you primarily use; and why?
I am debating which primary should I use and I would very much like some of your opinions and suggestions to help me to decide.
I very much like the scout rifle for it has good impact, which interrupts the targets, and good damage. Also I always aim for a head shot (or a belly shot against the Vex). So I have grown fond of the scout rifle since I started playing. I also like the hand cannon too; except for its relatively small cartridge size painfully long reloading speed. I have tried to really like it and use it but I have always ended falling back to the scout rifle. The pulse rifle is a good choice too although I do not use it that often. I feel that it is not as easy to use as the auto rifle and not as impactful as the scout rifle and the hand cannon. I however have to say that the pulse is very good at one thing: scoring headshot. First you aim at the chest just below the neck, which is larger and easier to aim than the head, then the recoil will move the muzzle up and you will hit the head.
Lately, I have done some PvP matches and some team PvE. I have noticed that a lot of people are using the auto rifle. I would say nearly a majority of them. For me, I just cannot get used to the constant recoil and the constant adjusting of aim. I understand its appeal and it also manages to score a lot of team kills too. With the auto rifle, you can start aiming at the general direction before moving into a more precise aiming, and thus almost always hits something. WIth the scout rifle and the hand cannon, you have to aim first before firing, and then reengage when necessary and fire again. In PvE teaming, it annoys me to see that my kill counts are lower than a auto rifle user but I believe I deal more or less the same amount of damage; just that my bullets hit fewer targets.
So anyway, what do you use? Please share your views on the primary weapons.
Thanks!

If you go with an auto rifle, find one with high stability or upgrades that increase stability. If you're like me, that's the most important part of weapon handling. I run with Atheon's Epilogue with the stability upgrade. It eats ammo but those level 28 Vex never knew what hit 'em

Hand cannon. In fact I salvage every other primary I drop. I love the feel of it, & it's a great tribute to the Gunslinger Mythos such as "A Fistful of Dollars" trilogy, Hell on Wheels, Trigun (I swear Vash's HC is the inspiration, 6 o'clock barrel & all) & many others. In PvE I find ONE headshot to be enough for most trash mob foes. In PvP, I'm still getting the hang of it, but BOY does it feel great to down people with the HC. It's almost a purely skill based weapon, as you must hit with each shot, & ain't nobody standing still for you in PvP!
