Time to Kill in PvP and new Weapons in Expansions (Destiny)

Some of the guys in my games switch weapon loadouts when heavy ammo comes out. It's not unusual for me to be killed by a Mythoclast, then see heavy ammo come out, and then have the same guy kill me with a Gjallerhorn a few seconds later.

I'm guessing that's going to happen to me a lot more once I switch off the 360. (Time to switch weapons on the 360 in-game can exceed 10-15 seconds; it's not really a feasible option unless you like taking an extra death for no reason. SOMETIMES I've done it before I auto-respawn - but usually I'm already back on the playing field by the time I'm out of the menu... and whether I'm alive or not depends entirely on how lucky my spawn was. So I do it as LITTLE as I possibly can, and it seems most other people on the platform are the same.)

On Xbone/PS4, though, this is feasible.
