I don't expect scouts to out dps hand cannons, I expect them to be competent at ranges the hand cannons are not. VOC not withstanding.
Pulse rifles need a slightly higher crit modifier or better stability across the board so my gun isn't jumping like a Jack Russel Terrier on speed when ever i breathe near the trigger, and so the stability upgrade isn't vital to the point of trivializing other upgrades in the tree.

At first I thought hand cannons took more skill but I started using them a bit more just for fun and it kinda feels like the shots gravitate toward the head. Shots that I feel like weren't precision shots got the precision damage. I think with any gun (except fusion rifles) it's just a range game. The skill lies in forcing the opponents to the range your weapon performs best at.
