The funny part about that buff... (Destiny)

I'm not sure this is true.

I mean at close range, yes, you're right, they are about the same.

High stability fusion rifles are now (again) viable at the short end of mid range, where they were really right around shotgun range before. They're not full mid-range, but they are now usable where they just didn't quite keep up before.

The description of the buff describes it as such. From the april patch notes.

"Fusion rifles are more stable across the board. The maximum stability for a fusion rifle has not changed much, but the baseline minimum stability is much stronger (40% recoil reduction), and we linearly ramp up from there."

A Braced frame Thesan or Vacancy already pushed up near max stability, so they basically saw no buff (and I see very little change in my Braced Frame thesan.

I don't think many people HAD a braced frame Thesan or Vacancy though, and that's a big difference.
