Needing Advice ...
First, let me say Destiny is the first real multiplayer, first-person shooter game I've played on my PS4. I've played COD, Halo and other older games on PC so I'm getting used to aiming/moving with a controller versus a mouse and keyboard. I love playing the crucible, its lots of fun ... but holy crap there are some great players out there. And that's my issue ... I find that I'm losing most head-to-head battles; meaning that I'm hitting my opponents 4-5 times vs. 1-2 shots to kill me.
Here's my setup:
Coiledhiss 1919 pulse rifle
Invective Shotgun
Deviant Gravity A machine gun
(Titan, Light 30, defence of 1509 ... currently upgrading my legendary Iron Regalia Plate chest armor I got with Iron Banner. My focus is inntellect but am well-rounded).
I'm okay with headshots but I find it really difficult to get kills using my primary. I mostly run around (sometimes kamikaze style) and kill guardians using my shotgun or pray for some heavy ammo and use my machine gun. I actually get over 50% of my crucible kills using a machine gun ... it's kinda my niche.
I need to update my primary and looking for tips. What do people recommend for someone with "okay" aim, and average gameplay? Any advice would be great.
Titans rule! lol

I think the fact that you describe yourself as having "OK" aim is the main problem with your primary weapons. Primary kills rely on you either catching someone facing the wrong way, them already being damaged or being very accurate in terms of landing headshots. Try to get into the habit of keeping your reticle at head height. That will shave precious milliseconds off your reaction time, which in head to head battles makes a big difference. It is a bit weird trying to adjust to aiming with analog sticks when you are used to clicking with a mouse so any time you can reduce the amount of aim-adjusting you're doing with the sticks will help. Beyond that, you will probably find that even when you get better its still easier to get kills with shotties and HMGs. Which is why they are restricting both ammo types.
