The Last Word is... awesome (Destiny)

So far I love it (got it from the nightfall).

It FEELS great. I FEEL like a gunslinger. I'll have to see how it compares to Devil you Know after I get all the perks and get it to 300, but right now it seems great and the perks will make it even better.

I have both fully upgraded. The Devil You Know has the Send It perk, which gives it a lot more range than Last Word. In fact, TDYK outperforms the scout rifles I have. Also, it feels easier to get headshots with TDYK than with Last Word. The accuracy is better. Plus the extra 4 rounds is good when yiu have a bunch of enemies charging you.

Where Last Word shines is with bosses and shielded enemies. Being able to unleash 8 rounds very fast is great when ducking in and out of cover. I can drop dregs faster with precision shots from TDYK, but I would rather have Last Word when a minotaur is charging me.

Last Word is definitely my go to weapon for crucible with my hunter. The hip fire bonus destroys people in close to mid range, which is a vast majority of crucible combat.

Also, The Last Word is just cool and fun. Even if I could get kills faster with other weapons, they're just not as fun to shoot.
