Bungie will tell you some trade off bullshit.
I think this hand canon meta is garbage.
-
If you guys want a Auto Rifle that can out shoot a hand canon try the Genius Chain. It has a kill time of 0.83 making it a faster kill with 5 crits and 1 body. Personally I don't like it but that doesn't mean you won't.
-
They aren't. The bullet hose archetype is equal to the palindrome in kill time.
-
Both suck compared to a sticky, why engage at all?
-
They aren't. It all depends on the roll. Look at the Arminius-d on my Warlock. It's a more than decent roll (for that gun) and will outshoot "most" Palindromes because it pours headshots in like a laser.
-
My understanding is that Bungie has always shown a bias/preference for single-shot weapons over automatic weapons in their games.
-
The only game where revolvers and handguns beat assault rifles - Destiny
-
Autos have a large clip and are used be players that can't aim.
-
Have you ever shot a hand cannon before? It's awesome. Rifles are a dime a dozen but a .357 magnum makes you feel like a god.
-
in destiny 2 I hope we have full-auto, semi- auto and burst fire assault rifles as well as smg's and lmg's and shotguns and snipers as primarys with sidearms and hand cannons becoming one special weapon class with like fusion rifles and grenade launchers or some other cool shit.
-
Hand cannons go "pew pew" Auto rifles go "rat-tat-tat" P comes before R therefore hand cannons are better..... Destiny Logic
-
Just because they're meta doesn't mean they're better.
-
They should just remove hand cannons as primaries in my opinion, it's not realistic to think a hand cannon could trade shots with an uzi or automatic rifle.

Skill
-
Really you are complaining about hand cannons in this meta!? Not even stickies and ammo regenerating weapons........
-
It's not you probably suffer from the same thing as me it's the other players that are better because if they had ar and you hc they would still win fight happens me all the time
-
Handcannon is better? I just thought it killed in less shots. Maybe Im wrong
-
Bigger bullet =more pain. If you have an AK 47 and magnum 44 in real life. Shoot them both at a wall and see what makes the bigger hole.

I don't know... at under 25-30 yards, let see. .50 S&W Magnum out of a S/W 500 vs. 556 NATO. A half inch diameter hollow point vs. what is essentially a .22 round, although quite zippy. Now if we were talking .308 or 7.62x39, that might be another story...
-
.44 magnum: Bullet diameter: .430 inch. Bullet weight: 225 grains. Bullet Velocity: 1,870 fps. Bullet Energy: 1,747 ft.lbs. 5.56 NATO round: Bullet diamete: 0.224 inch. Bullet weight: 62 grains. Bullet Velocity: 3,100 fps. Bullet Energy: 1,303 ft.lbs. or short answer Cause math. GG

Western style space magic!
-
Everyone just has a good roll on their hand cannons right now. I have an auto on my Warlock that is extremely effective.
-
Put more flinch on your auto, then hand cannons can't aim at you.
-
HC is jumping and guning thats why
-
Probably because AR's were so OP and so far ahead of every other weapon type for the first 6 months.
-
Bc they nerfed autos forever ago lol
