[quote]Im dont hate sunsetting, but i want to see if this argument is valid.
We have a lot of guns. But not all of them have their time to shine. sunsetting all of them is quite strange, sunce they can sunset just the most used and buff the other ones. I mean, i never saw someone use the hand cannon from the warden of nothing nightfall.

Your argument stands. But using the Wardens law as a base. It's just not a viable handcannon. See this is another thing Bungie does with guns. They add things like explosive payload to the guns perks but then use that dmg from explosive payload as a portion of the guns base damage. It's a false boost. Meaning you have explosive bullets but they're a portion of the base dmg already.
Wardens law for sake of argument does say 2K dmg from the main barrel. Bungie add a second barrel and it becomes 2 shots per trigger pull. That should be around 4K dmg right? Sadly no. They split the 2K dmg between the two. While yes you get two shots per trigger pull. You don't get a bonus at all. You get the illusion of one.
