Help with Crucible (Destiny)

I'm not gonna say I HATE the Crucible... But I very much dislike it. As a result, I don't play it at all.

However, I'm working my way towards Thorn. I'm a hand cannon enthusiast so having a sweet exotic is really appealing - so much so that I'm willing to give it a go at the Crucible as demanded. I have to earn 500 points - 100 kills with Void energy - while losing points each time I get killed. This seems daunting...

Questions:
1. How in the name of the Traveler does one get any kills in this arena?!
2. What's the best game type to try? Control, Clash, Skirmish?
3. My only Void weapons are shotgun, sniper, and rocket launcher. Only the RL is rare, the rest are uncommon. Will these be effective?

No. You should try to get a void fusion rifle. That's how I got this bounty the first time, and the second time it was a void fusion rifle supplemented with a void AR and a void HMG. A void HMG is really good since you can rack up a huge amount of kills in one ammo drop vs the rocket launcher.

I'd play control or clash.
