Current handcannons pretty much suck?
Handcannons are my weapon of choice. Watching enemy heads pop never gets tired. The current crop, however, all look pretty rubbish on paper and I can't bring myself to spend the marks on them. Going by various reports on the forum this is probably a wise move. Are they really as crappy as they look? Were they deemed too good pre dlc and intentionally gimped? What's going on Bungie?!
//just to clarify - by current I mean the new, post dlc handcannons

It's like your commute vehicle you take to work all week, with it's automatic transmission. Then on the weekends you break out the stick for cruising up the coastline. Edit: I still don't believe Handcannons have the required sustainable DPS to outperform rifles in Raid situations. My 324 Thorn severely underperforms on the Crota fight in all aspects, compared to my 300 Vision of Confluence. If this game had a damage meter rather than just a kill counter then this matter would be easy to settle, but it doesn't so unless you can show me some proof then I'm afraid I can't give into the hype.
