Auto, Scout, Pulse or Cannon: Which will you choose? (Destiny)

The Pulse Rifles in the beta were useless to me. It felt like the body shots weren't powerful enough and the inherent burst of recoil made landing headshots far less effective than the steady, accurate impacts of a Scout Rifle. We'll see what changes the full game brings.

I definitely preferred other guns to the Pulse Rifles, but at one point during the Iron Banner by far the most powerful gun I had was a Pulse Rifle. I don't know how they'll rebalance it in the final game, but I eventually found a spot to aim where the first two would hit the body and the last shot would hit the head. That seemed to make it useable. Especially if you can find a pulse rifle that had certain perks, like the last bullet did extra damage.
