I realize this may get no attention by the community or developers but that's ok because I have hope that somewhere later on down the road maybe if bungie opens up to Third party developers they could design a gun range similar to the one in The Borderlands series. The only reason I have this dream is because I hate all the load screens I have to travel through just to test out the weapons I come across. I bet it would be one of the busiest places besides the cryptarch and the bounty board. Give these guardians a place to show off the weapons and skills we have acquired through countless hours of raiding, looting, and pwning. Create an arena where lower levelers can spectate the elite Gaurdians gear and weapons. Redundantly clear I hope if not. Gun Range.

That's what patrol mode is for. They'd need to add a loading sequence anyway to change from social to combat mode before you could show off because of how the Tower is coded.

I agree at the very least you could compare two weapons that are close in stats but may have small variances and see which you like better
