I love the hand cannons but my God have they made my head hurt trying to write this. I'm now going to make a sweeping statements that is true for most of the hand cannons in Destiny. The barrel doesn't line up with the round in the chamber that the hammer would strike. That was what first made me want to write this, but upon looking into it I found so many more niggling problems with the guns that this is now my fourth attempt at writing this. The guns in the games are obviously futuristic but the base concept for a revolver hasn't changed in 200 years and it's not going to make any ridiculous leaps in mechanics in 700 years that would make sense now. I mean the cartridge you load into the chamber has no marking for any primers for the firing pin to strike, and no effort has been made to even gesture at where the round comes out of the chamber, because the opening at the end of the chamber where the bullet should come out of is sealed. In the words of the Queen song: "I'm going slightly mad" And if you read this and you also get your mind blown by hand cannons, I'm sorry for ruining your day. If you can help my sanity with some possible theory of how it could work please do.
