They desperately need the buff, specific ones maybe not so much, but instead of nerfing, simply buff the other weapons to an equal rating. Obviously pulse rifles shoot 3 bullets at a time, so comparatively an auto rifle should deal the same damage as 2 of those rounds, seeing as how there is a pause between shots. Hand cannons have always been massive damage dealers so they should be kept in mind when compared to the others. And that's just primary, secondary weapons should deal a lot of damage so they are good, just low ammo found. Heavies should destroy everything, but make their ammo hard or "rare" to obtain
