No, it makes sense. You're grasping at straws here (Destiny)

Instead we are stuck with the following order to switch a single weapon over after using it.

• go to orbit
  
• go to the tower
  
• equip other weapon if item is already equipped
  
• go to the vault
  
• back out of the vault
  
• log out of character
  
• log into other character
  
• go to the tower
  
• go to the vault
  
• back out of the vault
  
• equip weapon
  
• go to orbit
  
• go to new activity

It's a complete waste of time

It is a massive waste of time.

If weapons stay in the vault then there is more stuff in there to scroll through, but (and it's the world's most ginourmous butt)... you avoid all that character shuffling, destination setting and traveling, playing guess-which-alt-has-the-weapon, and the other mini-game you play when space is limited in vault and character.

Ever thought that your Alt Warlock had that rocket launcher and when you switched to it you realized that the Hunter had it?

Ever been invited to a raid or a nightfall and been in an under-leveled character and been barraged with msgs whilst you frantically tried to equip your main so you could contribute fully?

Imagine if all weapons were available in the vault at all times. You wouldn't have to remember where they where, which alt had them equipped. You wouldn't have to swap characters just to get hold of a weapon that another alt had.

Imagine if the vault was available in orbit.

I outlined a suggested in-game UI for the vault here. Maybe I'd rename it from Vault to Gear.
