Some gun notes (Destiny)

I really liked fusions up until they changed the default spread of the projectiles. They are now at best close medium range weapons, not great short range and horrible long range. They just don't have a useful enough min-max range to be effective.

There's a reason why pulse/shotguns are ruling PvP for the most part. A good pulse will get you to the beginning of long range and is better than a scout at short range. And short range a good shotty is by far superior.

Snipers are good if you've got a decent primary that works up close. I've seen HC/sniper combos work well for really good snipers for example.

But really, it's about covering as many bases as you can with your primary/secondary. And fusion rifles give up too much for what amounts to "good only from further short range or close medium range".
