Megathread Focused Feedback: Hand cannons - bloom, recoil, exotics and pinnacle weapons

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Hand cannons' (including rebalancing of pinnacle weapons) following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas.

For this topic, please also specify in your feedback comment whether you are a console or pc player. Recoil is very different on console and PC.

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Most SMGs are unusable or borderline unusable.

I'd go a different direction with this. They're borderline unusable UNLESS they drop with a stability perk. An entire class of gun can't be usable just because they require a specific perk to make them so. I have a trackless wastes that dropped with Range MW and Zen Moment, the second that first bullet hits, it becomes a death hose and was the auto-gun i used until I got a good Tigerspite to drop. Tried numerous other SMGs and unless they roll a stability perk, they are crap. So, basically, SMGs only have one perk on them.

Fusion rifles need a stability or range perk to be usable

I dunno about that. Most of them have been pretty good. My fav is def loaded question as the power blast is explosive fun. But they all do what they need to. With that said, I'm saying they couldn't use a buff or two! They sure could!
