Iv been using hand cannon ever since I got an exotic drop and it revealed the last word. As I was waiting for an auto rifle I decided to give it a go and was surprised how much skill is actually required to use it. Now that i have it fully upgraded it is a completely different gun. It fires auto with great impact and stability. It definitely still requires skill in movement to utilise properly. It's the type of gun that will win you 1 on 1 battles all day regardless of what you come up against. It's harder when you have more than one player to deal but going in and out of cover usually helps. Also it's very accurate holding a the trigger down but even more so if you tap the trigger in mid or long range as it has less recoil and takes down targets quicker than holding trigger as it recoils a bit less and is better than hip firing unless you are close range
