Ah yes, the Hand Cannons. The experience of seeing your rounds pierce the cranium of your alien oppressors that only they can provide. Whose wielders tower over the filthy Scout, Pulse, and Auto Rifle plebians.
Come, my brethren, gather in this place and share your knowledge, tales, and advice to your fellow Marksmen.
I offer my own small piece of input: Acquiring Chain of Woe (exclusive to the mighty Hunter Mustard Rice (a topic for another day)), armor which increases Hand Cannon reload times, and a Hand Cannon itself that sports a 'melee hits reduce the reload time of this weapon' upgrade will result in all whom you come across fleeing back to the Darkness from whence they came.

I have been blessed by the Destiny base gods with a plethora of exotics, including, but not limited to, Hard Light, Bad Juju, Thorn, and Suros Regime. I have also found my fair share of some very good legendary guns of different sorts. But, of all my guns, The Devil You Know (Vanguard hand cannon) is by far the most efficient when it comes to annihilating all who stand in my way. 12 rounds, increased stability every hit you land, explosive rounds, one random bullet does more damage, and a reload speed that'll have the empty cartridges hitting the ground before your panties do, all make this gun perfect for any situation at all. I have mine fully upgraded, and it does anywhere from 1200-2000 damage per critical hit, depending on the enemy. Anyone looking for something worth of spending your hard-earned Vanguard marks on, look no further. The only guns I can imagine winning my heart over this guy, are The Last Word and Hawkmoon. (C'mon, Destiny base gods, I know you hear my prayers!)
