And this is the only pulse rifle I currently even consider in crucible. Why? Impact and stability. All Legendary and exotic pulse rifles have garbage for impact, or have decent impact with garbage stability. A pulse rifle needs both, badly.

IMO pulse rifles should feel like hand cannons with more zoom, making them less effective at short range. Also, make hip fire terrible for them (5x the recoil or something). While zoomed in, though, a pulse rifle should be able to 2-shot someone with double headshots, or 3-shot them with all body shots. That's what the weapon class needs to be able to do to compete.

Also, the sights needs to be good. So many sights don't provide a clear enough view with high enough zoom to know you're hitting the head. That's another reason why Stranger's Rifle wins. It's got the best sight.
