I used Finnala's Peril!
I'm a skilled player. Recently, I got a sweet hand cannon with rifled barrel from Lord Salad, so I fully upgraded it and prepared for my reign of terror in Iron Banner.
I was able to [b]consistently [/b]land the 1st headshot, then miss 3 bodyshots in a row while being mowed down by auto/pulse rifles. There were no exceptions. Surprisingly all my opponents all had unflinching too!
I tried a new strategy. I fired slower and my shots now registered!... But I just died more, never able to land the final bodyshot in time.
I have come to the conclusion that the purpose of hand cannons is to kill the user. Bungie sure has a weird design philosophy!
UPDATE: Yo Bungie! If you could at least [u]add a bloom reticle[/u] like on Halo: Reach's DMR, [i]that'd be great.[/i]
UPDATE: I made a rant about weapon stats, but I moved it [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/211662975]here.[/url]
The main lessons for this thread are that Hidden Hand [i]probably [/i]increases bullet pull, and Rangefinder is [i]definitely [/i]desirable on HC's... The Water Star can roll with both!

You know what I've learned from playing and reading all these wonderfully written and literate posts on the forums is? *Snipers are a crutch *Autos are a crutch *Pulse rifles are a crutch *Shotguns are a crutch *Sidearms are a crutch *Universal Remote is for bad kids *scouts are fine, but nerf the MIDA!!!! *Every weapon, ability, class, subclass, dance emote is OP. Bungie plz nerf! Watch it kiddos. Just like they took shot package away, they may take your hidden-hand and short gaze away on that Longbow you finally "earned." Just the thought makes me feel all a tingle!! [spoiler]Yes, my crucible ability isn't great. Yes, I have a Longbow with hidden-hand. I got the damn thing in my second crucible package after the update. My first thought: "Why the hell would I want this thing?"[/spoiler]
