I am getting my lengendry gun on saturday (xur willing) and i am wondering what peoples opinion on primary guns is. I've been bashing the auto rifle so far but since they've nerfed the headshot bonus is it worth going for a pulse or scout rifle instead and i am not a big fan of the hand cannon. I understand the actual damage is calculated through damage and impact but how does this work in actuality.
Update:
Xur wasn't willing the gimp only has a rocket launcher this weekend, guess I will bash the vanguard rep up to rank 3 instead :(

I guess whatever you buy there's no guarantee they wont nerf it at somepoint so maybe best to get wat suits your style. I like the scout rifle (I realise I'm in the minority on that) but I find I can pretty much use it to snipe on most occasions but it still has enough ammo and good hip fire so I can use it up close too. I'm not sure about how the attack vs impact works but it seems to me the damage done in PvE is some multiple of these but in PvP it's just down to the impact. So in PvE you need to be looking at both numbers, that's my guess from what I've seen so far but I can't find a definitive explanation of the damage calculation anywhere so this is all guesswork!
