Bungie has decided cowardice is preferable to competence. By deciding not to directly punish pvp heavy ammo cheaters they have actively slapped everyone else in the face by cancelling pvp events.
We are left with little recourse, or are we?
If you know someone abusing this cheat, kick them off of your raid and pvp teams. If DTR is tracking as much a they appear to be I wish they would start filtering for rocket and machine gun kills before heavy drops. This might let them even label the cheaters so the rest of us can identify them. (bare in mind using a sword Hilt it is technically possible to get a heavy kill with no ammo)
My point is bungie, if you don't take punitive measures against cheaters, expect the destiny community as a whole to start rejecting them when they are discovered. I don't care who they are or what pathetic little excuse they use I'm not playing with people who cheat in this manner.
To clarify I don't care about the still functional 3 of coins glitch, I don't care about the wall in sepiks prime that can be jumped through, even pushing templar and Atheon off (fixed now), all victimless cheats. However if someone is actively making it so others have a significantly worse time, they are not playing with me. Infact, expect me to message their clan mates about their cheating, maybe if these guys can't play with anyone on destiny anymore they will just give up and go cheat in some other game.

I think it's a little overboard honestly. No one called for mass deportation of those who abused nightstalker glitch a while ago. Now, the definently should not get off Scott free, maybe a few days ban from crucible, but nothing serious. This is not the players fault, it's bungies for not noticing this beforehand.
