Currently SGA is underperforming in every aspect under the Thunderlord and most other exotics.
This could be fixed in 2 ways:
This gun has 3 barrels, so why not make it a hipfire gun. This would synergy well with its exotic perk. Make the first upgrade better hipfire, and give it an enormous impact and extreme recoil. Additionally, give it either Field scout, quicker reload or snapshot. This would help choosing it over thunderlord for certain moments.
Number 2: Return hit shots to magazine, but with half the chance. So you would still have the Exotic perk for being accurate. This would also synergise well with perfect balance or Balance adjustment. Just a quick idea, because crowd control is lame... Kinda.
Thank you for the read
( note, this has also been posted in feedback, so give your concerns there too)
Edit: what if the 3 barrels use each element ?
Like at once, Solar, Arcus and void. A shield breaker

I think its fine the way it is. Its more of a situational weapon. Its good for crowd control when your faced with large mobs or for very close quarters battles. Its also excellent in the raid during atheon since shooting oracles counts as misses so you get to keep most of your ammo and
