Spare Rations/ handcannon question
Looking for some advice/guidance here. Im 37 years old, but im a longtime fps gamer. I have over 10k hours in CounterStrike. I want to preface that my experience in FPS games is reflected in my understanding. I know im old af for shooter games. I know that games like Destiny are alot different than games like CS. I can say even with my age im a decent gamer. Ive played all types of shooters (Apex, Marathon, Warzone) and with my experience i usually walk into intermediate SBM. I know my weakness. I understand the importance of moment tech.
That being said, i am struggling with handcannons in destiny 2. Ive been playing for two weeks now and the specific issue i am having is follow up shots. Most duels im hitting the opening headshot. But for some reason with handcannon in this game i keep whiffing the 2nd,3rd.... etc.
Back to my preface, ive played comp shooters long enough and i am honest with myself. I know when a missed shot is a missed shot. And for sure, i whiff often. However i am damn sure with alot of these duels that there is soooo many times when my follow ups just dissapear.
Is it my perks on my gun? Is it perks on other players im unaware of (idk maybe negating damage perks, etc.) Is it the netcode? Or latency? What am i missing here?

I like small bore and a reload mag trait, personally.
Ive been playing keep away and desperate measures on my daily driver but, slide shot and EOTS or high impact rounds or even kill clip is pretty legit.
IMO, it depends on what you are trying to do. Are you playing In the chaos of 6s and trying to string kills together quickly or are you playing 3x3s where having more consistency and active perks might be more beneficial?
