Is it possible? Do you get old guns and not new ones? Or am I wasting my time trying?
Edit: it is confirmed you can not get old weapons any longer. All enemy dropped engrams are post HoW regardless of playlist, and endgame rewards are old ARMOR engrams only.

I've been testing this for a while now. Blue engram DROPS (as in from enemies) will decrypt to HoW gear if they become legendary. End game rewards (reward screen at the end of strikes) are where you may get an old armor piece from an engram. Unfortunately, weapon engrams do not drop as loot in the reward screen
