That is a very unlikely scenario, one that would never happen and is irrelevant. I stand by nerfing is never the answer when other weapons are clearly overlooked and issues discarded such as bloom, which I mentioned as well. It’s just more convenient and safe to apply a nerf in this case than it is to buff other weapons or archetypes. Your example about pulses can be applied to other weapon classes and hand cannons, remove bloom, see how Ace and TLW perform, I bet the cry for nerfing of LH/NF would dissipate.
