I used Finnala's Peril!

I'm a skilled player. Recently, I got a sweet hand cannon with rifled barrel from Lord Salad, so I fully upgraded it and prepared for my reign of terror in Iron Banner. I was able to [b]consistently [/b]land the 1st headshot, then miss 3 bodyshots in a row while being mowed down by auto/pulse rifles. There were no exceptions. Surprisingly all my opponents all had unflinching too! I tried a new strategy. I fired slower and my shots now registered!... But I just died more, never able to land the final bodyshot in time. I have come to the conclusion that the purpose of hand cannons is to kill the user. Bungie sure has a weird design philosophy! UPDATE: Yo Bungie! If you could at least [u]add a bloom reticle[/u] like on Halo: Reach's DMR, [i]that'd be great.[/i] UPDATE: I made a rant about weapon stats, but I moved it [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/211662975]here.[/url] The main lessons for this thread are that Hidden Hand [i]probably [/i]increases bullet pull, and Rangefinder is [i]definitely [/i]desirable on HC's... The Water Star can roll with both!

    Stop with these threads already! Not a single one of you has shown video proof of shots missing. The entire time I've been playing Trials (at high ELOs) and IB and regular Crucible, I am being [b]consistently shot with Hand Cannons, 3-headshot killed and more![/b] Literally, players I am coming up against using; Hawkmoon Finala's Peril Lord High Fixer Eyasluna Last Word They're not missing shots... [B]EVER![/B] Even the people I play with don't miss shots with Hand Cannons, and I don't miss when I use them. If I do miss, it's because of my own inaccuracy. If you use High Impact Hand Cannons (Hawk, Finalas, LHF, Eyas), their rate of fire is slow enough to where they are [b]not affected the the 'Bloom' effect[/b]. Only the fastest RoF HC's are affected (Last Word and a couple others). Just... stop. Stop with all these posts, they're false, and if you or anyone else is really missing as often as they say they are, then you're clearly not placing your shots correctly. There is no other reason you should be missing that often, other than you being incapable of following a target while they're strafing, or you're incapable of compensating for recoil. [I]Pro Tip: Stop going for Body Shots. That's why you're losing, you're so uncomfortable with your own accuracy that you try to go for Body Shots instead of Head Shots consistently, which causes you to [b]think[/b] that you're missing due to Bloom, when you're really only missing because... well, you suck.[/i]
