I respectfully disagree on the range (and thanks for being civil). If the game is supposed to be a departure from reality, then I see no reason why a hand cannon can't snipe you from 300 yards away. If the game is supposed to be closer to reality, then I see no reason why a hand cannon can't snipe you from 300 yards away. Yes, I know I wrote that twice because it doesn't matter either way as far as the weapon is concerned. Hand cannons are deadly accurate from long range, so I question if Bungie did any research on real weapons, or just focused on the asthetics. Remember the first Halo? The pistol was the best weapon in the game, and it could snipe you quick. Hawkmoon and Felwinters is my go-to loadout for crucible, so I really don't have a taste to play this game anymore. We'll see. Not going to rage out like some people on here, but feel like they dropped the ball on this one. The hand cannon nerf is the only one I'm upset about, because it really makes no sense. It's like they don't know the ranges of real guns. The Hawkmoon is the only hand cannon that can one shot you from sniper range, but that's the perk! Why dilute the perk? And they've already confirmed that the magazine size will increase to 15 bullets, from the previous 12. So no, it won't benefit from the magazine reduction.
