Power Hand Cannon

[bAllu]

Wjat do you guys think about a hand cannon that's a power weapon?

I know there are a LOT of hand cannons in the game already, but I think it would be cool to see one of those in the future.

We already have one, its called Eriana's Vow.

Bet the recoil gonna insane

Let me ask you this, what makes it a power weapon? What is it going to do to make it worth it? I would assume it would be exotic? So what makes it exotic?

We already have Erianna's Vow to fulfill the fantasy of a Hand Cannon Sniper, and it does that roll very well. So what would make a Power HC stand out?

I am asking because I am curious what you want, what you think it would be.

Well if you're looking for unique hand cannon ideas, shotshell revolvers like the Judge and Governor come to mind. Could lead to a hand cannon that fires a pellet spread, but still benefits from things like Small Arms Loader or Lucky Pants. If you played Borderlands, think of Mashers or the Maggie.

Another thing are gyrojets - small rockets fired from a handgun. But Mountaintop already does that with Micro Missile.

A hand cannon that shoots cannon balls. Yes. You can thank me later.

Any idea when it will become available for people who didn't play season of the undying?

probably never, or maybe in year 4

Maybe something like Black Ops 4's Annihilator? Though I dont know how it would compete with Xenophage. And also as people pointed out, the Eriana's Vow already exists.

But I wouldn't deny that it would be pretty badass to have a explosive arm-cannon.

i also thought about it firing explosive rounds, but that already exists in a way (the exploding perks and the unstoppable mod)

There was a pistol made in i think WWI by a guy who worked primarily on artillery pieces. I cant remember his name or the name of the gun, but it was a pistol chambered in a rifle caliber and could only hold a single round at a time, it operated in a similar manner to actual artillery.

Maybe this power slot handcannon would be in a similar style?

Anyway some random ideas for perks for a power slot handcannon off the top of my head, so dont expect these to be good or well thought out.

1. firing while ADS will hurt you (its a handcannon in the power slot, why wouldent it hurt to shoot?)
2. um shoots big boolets
3. low mag size high damage, killings things heals you
4. shoots gyrojets that explode in a shotgun spray shortly before contact (thanks to skeleton for reminding me that gyrojets exist)
5. Reloading throws the gun as a grenade and you transmat a new one to your hand
6. the gimmick is pistol whip, just pistol whip
7. use fireball, just fireball
8. idk some kind of laser/trace rifle handcannon, each shot fires a brief beam of burny light

alright its now 2am for me so imma post this and then partake in the unconsciousness ritual known as sleep.

I think i have found a good model for bungie to follow if they make a power hand cannon.
