I feel most people running hand cannons run snipers or Lorentz now. Blinting has become really common it seems.

Handcannons and shotguns still dominate stats

Just feels like it wouldn’t dominate. It’s a short range and short/mid range weapon. Hand Cannons aren’t really good outside of mid range. At long range, Pulses and Scouts win. I’ll admit, this used to be my meta loadout, but it doesn’t seem to fly as well recently. Just saying.

I don't play enough to notice. I just looked at the stats before.

Statswise, yeah, they’ll always be up there. They hit the hardest per shot for primary weapons which is why they’re so prized. A group of 3 120’s can instakill a single guardian if they all hit a shot. Hence the popularity in Trials. In 6’s, they are strong and can often finish kills and play well with high damage special weapons that have some range. You aren’t wrong they’re widely used.
