Sing me the song of your favorite guns! (Destiny)

Now that D2's been around long enough for everyone to develop some attachments, rational and otherwise, I'm interested to hear which weapons are your absolute favorites. Not which ones are best, mind you-- I'm not tryna start a war here-- but which ones feel right, which ones make you smile, which ones make you cackle.

The question struck me when I first tried out True Prophecy, the FWC Hand Cannon. It's slow as all get out, it's an absolute pig to reload, and it's completely counter to my usual playstyle (which is generally Scout Rifles for everything outside of about 10m, Swords for anything closer, with a little helping of Linear FRs and/or Merciless thrown in there for good measure), but oh boy, it is just a boatload of fun-- not to mention being a real treat to look at. :)

Maybe I haven't used it enough, but I'm not sure what the fascination with True Prophecy is. It just seems like a slightly worse Better Devils. I'm going to use it a bit more to see if I can find whatever everyone else seems to love about it.

When it comes to Hand Cannons, though, the Midnight Coup is just an absolute delight. I haven't nailed down exactly what makes it so good, but that thing just feels amazing to use.

I'm still struggling to find an elemental and heavy setup that I really love, though. I've been running Uriel's Gift, and that thing is awesome, for sure, but I don't necessarily love using it. Sunshot was my go-to secondary because that thing is a joy to use, but I don't want to run two hand cannons. MIDA Mini-Tool is fun, but I like having more range than that.
