Can someone explain something about side-arms?
So with the news special will be gone after death has broken, the question is why do sidearms retain their ammo?
Before anyone says "shut up you shotgun warrior troglodyte" (check my top kills) I'm just a little perplexed as to why sidearms retain ammo. They're quite strong close quarters and even now people are jumping up and spamming sidearms. Just a little food for thought and I'd like to hear constructive feedback as to why they should be allowed.

Because as the name implies, it's a sidearm. Sidearms are a backup plan, and have always been used as one. Now if after the update Bungie sees people having used them as primaries, it'll likely be adjusted. I don't see that as being a likely possibility though. They take a fair amount of skill to use well, their range is very well-designed, there is no such thing as an overpowered sidearm, and in the same range they have to compete with hand cannons which are superior.
