Fixing Pulse Rifles (Destiny)

Pulse Rifles should be to Auto Rifles what Scout Rifles are to Hand Cannons.

Scouts and Pulses should shine at longer ranges, while Autos and Hand Cannons should shine at mid range.

All Pulse Rifles become automatic fire (bringing them inline with Autos) and the bursts are tightened, inspired by one of the best Pulse Rifles in the game, The Strangers Rifle. Pulse rifles sill have a lower impact than Scouts, but Rate of Fire and Stability become more interesting factors as they do on Auto Rifles. And like Autos, Pulse Rifles get really big magazine sizes (this is important, 27 would be the min with 60 the max).

Perks should also be redone. Missing a shot fires a fourth should be dropped. Instead, some of the Auto perks can trickle over like, Persistence and Bottom Half.
