I have a really hard time getting those headshots (Destiny)

It's not just you. I don't think it has very strong target acquisition. Even when I aim carefully I haven't been able to get many headshots out of it.

I don't think that's necessarily a problem - taking careful, paced shots is probably using that gun wrong. I think it's intended more for just aiming mid-body and unloading.

I could be wrong, but I thought one of the characteristics of the sidearm is that it doesn't do precision damage; perhaps you're getting the headshots but they don't look like it because it doesn't do extra "precision" damage...?

        I think it does 2.5x on crits? - iconicbanana, 2015-05-21, 12:21
        
        Cool. Looks like I was, indeed, wrong. - Speedracer513, 2015-05-21, 12:24

        Is 2.5x a lot? It feels like a lot to me. - dogcow, 2015-05-21, 13:24
        
        Handcannons are 3x, so maybe not? - iconicbanana, 2015-05-21, 13:25
        
        Maybe it feels like a lot because of the RoF. - dogcow, 2015-05-21, 13:42
