should I use armor piercing rounds or explosive rounds on a hand cannon? (APR bumps impact up a nick, and explosive rounds blow up)

The eplosive does abit of area damage. A portion of the bullets damage is done over that area. It's really effective on Vex, and though not as good as firefly, still a really good perk. Do not use firefly and explosive rounds together, it can cause firefly to activate less often

Can't think of a good way to explain both other than they are both situational in PvP. PvE wise like Explosive rounds since (in my own mind they deal solar dmg) and the fact enemies tend to group up (Hive mainly) it can help with quick clearing of areas. APR are more for those narrow areas like the rooms enemies come out of when your defending the ghost or running in the abyss with lots of thrall chasing you. but even then Explosive rounds do just as good.

hmm.. sorry to necro-bump, but I'd like to see this discussed more.

Disorient your opponents aim

Splash damage, increased damage (contrary to popular belief, but it has been proven), hitting enemies who are behind cover, explosions...

Splash damage. You will see your assists skyrocket.
