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?!

It seems Bungie made the hand cannons available from vendors pretty lackluster. Either they have low magazine sizes or the range sucks. Oddly enough, I got the New Monarchy HC Red Hand IX from legendary engram and its a beast! 10 shots. Send It upgrade. Sweet weapon. Downside is you have to hope to get it as a drop.
