We're walking a fine line between reliable weapons vs point to kill weapons. Yes all shots from a hand cannon should register(speaking on the accuracy) but I would rather have every weapon collectively be weaker than to buff everything to the point that TTK is at yr 1 TLW tier. As for primaries vs specials you just have to be smart and aware. Obviously you're not going to win a hand cannon vs shotgun battle if you're charging at your opponent. Ultimately yes some buffs are needed but imo buffs/nerfs just produce problems with other weapons.
