When I first got the Thorn (8 months ago) It was crap, absolutely awful, but I loved it, it shot giant f-n thorns into the head of enemies, it has an awesome look fit for a game like destiny, and the sight picture was very creative. It was a great gun. Then it got it's boost, and it's popularity took off.
Bottom line, the Thorn is an awesome creation by the Bungie team, and should be taken a little less seriously on the stats side.
Good job Bungie you made a gun I never want to stop shooting.

Totally agree in my opinion it's the most aesthetically pleasing gun in destiny along with the gorn nerfed or buffed it's a visually pleasing hand cannon and I love the noise it makes too hopefully after the nerd is thorn users can use it without shame!
