One month, 2 Raids per week, no check point yet. (Destiny)

If someone in the group is using a sniper rifle because it is their highest-level power weapon, but they suck with sniper rifles, have them switch to something they are more comfortable and effective with.

Wait... is this now the state of Destiny raiding? I could forego a sniper rifle in favor of something I'm actually effective with, and NOT spend the whole raid listening to people tell me to switch weapons?

Last night there was a funny moment in the Bath House. We were raiding with a new guy and he asked which power weapon he should use. He was told to use a Fusion Rifle, Sword, or Rockets, or he could use a Sniper Rifle if he felt more confident with it. He pointed out that he had a grenade launcher, and I told him that it was perfect... We basically went through the entire spectrum (he posed the same question during the Pleasure House, and got more or less the same response, and he ended up using Hawthorne's Shotgun).

The majority of weapons (except for SMGs and Sidearms) are all perfectly viable in the raid. There are even some Blue-rarity weapons (such as Cuboid) that can help you throughout the whole thing.
