19 months in, I'm still skeptical of Destiny's 3-gun system. (Destiny)

I'm not sure how Bungie drew the line between "Heavy" weapons and "special" weapons. They're all power weapons with varying strengths and weaknesses. And they all have situations where they can out-gun their counterparts.
I'm pretty sure that the biggest difference between 'Special' and 'Heavy' weapons is the need to aim in order to maximize the killing power.
I always found it strange that snipers had the highest DPS in the game. The fact that people use their specials to rapidly damage bosses seems a bit weird…
