Hand Cannons are a semi-automatic pistols in Destiny. These Primary Weapons have powerful single shots but limited magazine size. They are ideals for dealing headshots and performing Precision Kills.
Play Style
These are pretty lack-luster in the Beta. Aside from "style", there is little to recommend these over the Scout Rifle, which fills a similar role (high damage, semi-auto deliberate fire). Their mags / cylinders are too small and they don't feel as snappy as Scout Rifles.
- Play Style section is currently based on beta feedback. Feel free to add / change it.
