Hypothetical question (Destiny)

I hate to say it, but I think your only option is to delete a character. If you transfer ALL of their items to the vault first, the only thing you'll lose is the time it takes to level the replacement character up to 20. Which, in my experience, is a little over a day if you get some leveled-up friends to help speed you through the story missions at max difficulty (higher XP bonus). Run the strikes when they unlock as well, and remember to pick up as many bounties as possible along the way. Come back and check often because they keep giving you one or two new ones at a time when you're on the way up to 20 - it's not just the usual 6 per day.

Seems like a bit much for one fusion rifle, but if your question is how to re-obtain it, I don't know of another way.
