I somewhat agree with you. At first I wasn't a very good PVP player always got my butt kicked. What I've found is there are weapons in destiny that are more used than others but with a strategy in PVP any weapon even Thorn can be beaten. I use Vision of Confluence and will put it against any hand cannon in PVP. I found a strategy that works well for me. I've gone from 2-4 kills to 15-25. I find that using a weapon I'm proficient at works best than going in guns blazing.
