Honestly in theory thorn is a pretty Perfect exotic for a hand cannon, I mean its just like any other gun in Pvp if you miss your head shots you're done, but overall it's supposed to be a fun gun to use... Just only there is a difference between fun and overused considering there is nothing to keep such one gun in check since it can beat pretty much all guns at this point in the right hands, the red death is its counter balance yet it's really only that and a frontal assault where thorn is initially weak, but most of all you can't just have one other gun like the red death out since mostly all guns counter red death.
