yes and since scouts are rarely used in PvP then they should get a bit more damage and yes bungie keeps nerfing and buffing hand cannons and neither are a good solution so they should get a ROF reduced so you may not be spammed with 3-4 Thorn bullets in a matter of 2-3 seconds and die from the burn if you happen to run away or even get a full clip of Last Word bullets in a outrageous time.
