These are all PvP problems. I'm not a big PvPer (Is that a word? It is now.), except when it comes to Shaax Bounties, so I can't really say anything about this. Do hand cannons really need a buff though? I remember my Imago Loop massacred everyone it was pointed at.

All though you say these are all PvP problems, I've yet to see a re-balance patch where they haven't based the balancing decisions solely on PvP statistics. Personally, I wouldn't mind some of the suggestions made by the author but also I'd like to see someone look into specials that can be equipped as primaries.

The only hand cannon attribute that needs a buff imo is range. It's abysmal for some to the point they can only be effective at a short range...and shotguns with that battle.
