First impression: Underwhelming? (Destiny)

Ammo Count is low. Loses to HMGs and Rockets in crucible because of charge time…

Not really sure about this yet. It could turn into a vanity exotic.

The ricochet rounds are as useless as I expected, but it also does two high-impact sniper rounds worth of damage per shot, which can Crit, so I imagine this will make it very easy to drop the Warpriest, Slaughter Golgoroth, mince the Twins, and stagger Oryx.

It's taken a while to get past the feeling of what it could have been (you could say I already have some ideas on how to improve it), but for what it's worth, it's essentially more of a Heavy Sniper than anything else (and wasn't that what the Spartan Laser was, ultimately?).

I say it definitely has a place.
