If the magazine changes from 2.0.0 went by 25% alterations...

I'm kind of surprised no one has taken any estimates at what Bungie might be doing to our weapons when they stated they would be increasing and decreasing magazines sizes in handcannons, scout rifles, and pulse rifles. They haven't said anything about how much they'll be changing, whether it will affect just the magazine sizes or reserve ammo, whether it affects the maximum clip size of certain weapon types (they did state field scout would be getting tuned down), etc. I'm sure they have their reasons for not releasing those specific details. Anyways, I've taken to predicting (within general means of course) what the tuning might look like should it apply moderately equal change to magazine sizes. Field scout is taken into account, even though it will undergo adjustment. I chose mostly popular weapons since they provide a broad standard for clips. With some simple math, we can look at what our weapons might be packing or lacking come The Taken King. If anyone has already done something like this, please post a link to it below. I'm fascinated by Bungie's changes to our weapons and am always looking to learn more about it to better prepare myself for the crucible carnage to come. [b]Handcannons[/b] receiving a 25% decrement: Fatebringer, 12 (13 with Fieldscout) - 9 rounds (10) Word of Crota, 12 - 9 Last Word, 8 - 6 Thorn, 9 - 7 Hawkmoon, 13 - 8 (10 with "Holding Aces")(Can't say for certain due to how its perk will change) If this is what Post TTK looks like, bring those hand cannon loaders folks; it looks like you'll be loading up after roughly every kill. [b]Pulse Rifles[/b] receiving a 25% increment (rounded down by burst count): Praedyth's Revenge, 30 (42) - 36 (51) The Conduit, 18 - 21 The Messenger, 24 (33 with extended clip) - 30 (39) Bad Juju, 24 - 30 Red Death, 27 - 33 On average, most pulse rifles gained about 2 extra bursts. Will it make the difference in PvE? We'll see. [b]Scout Rifles[/b] receiving a 25% increment (rounded up): Fang of Ir Yut, 15 (27) - 19 (34) Vision of Confluence, 19 (27) - 24 (34) The Scholar, 13 - 16 Gheleon's Demise, 15 - 19 MIDA Multi-Tool, 21 (27) - 26 (34) Not too shabby. Makes for having luck in the chamber a bit less reliable though. Though I'm applying increases to fieldscout which is said to be nerfed come 2.0.0., its still a good look at what it could be. If I could guess, any scout rifle with field scout would probably reach 28 or 30 rounds after the update. Hope you guys enjoy the info. Please bear in mind this is all [u]hypothetical[/u], so take it all in with a grain of salt.
