Outclass in what way? It comes down to [spoiler]personal preference[/spoiler]. If you're skilled enough to consistently land crits with the DO hand cannon, it's better dps than Better Devils and the Old Fashioned in that regard. If it was the developers' intention for us to only use the best weapons then they wouldn't make a variety.
I also find some weapons to be more [spoiler]fun[/spoiler] to use than others, regardless of usefulness.

Maybe if you're talking boss Dps but who really would use a hand cannon for that, and what boss do you even need to weapon adjust for dps aside from the raid boss? And then why are you using a hand cannon period? Crucible wise the old fashioned deletes everything else by it's perk alone, one kill and you can 3 tap at any range in the maps with a archetype that takes only four.

You must not have read the part of my post about [spoiler]fun[/spoiler]. Not everyone min/maxes in this game.

I don't min max I was just referring to how many other weapons are better which was my point.

Again, "better" from your standpoint. From your posts it seems you'd prefer them for crucible, which is fine. I don't care which is better based on your personal criteria, I care which is worth using and still fun to use. For me if it's only statistically better then it isn't worth my time. Similar to using MIDA/Uriel's Gift. Sure, they're statistically "better" than other loadouts, but they aren't fun for me to use. I prefer Manannan and a HC or SMG or autorifle.

No I did, I just answered your question about how it is outclassed, if you're talking fun factor then that's on whoever plays, but that's not what I said and not what you asked.
