Exotic Hand Cannon Concept: Magic Bullet (Destiny)

Getting kills wouldn't be the key to the multiplier; just consecutive hits. I'm actually concerned about too much damage; in crucible, after one headshot, you could just hit body shots and 3 hit kill anybody. Balancing this thing between PvE and PvP would be the real problem, I think; at the very least, it would probably require different scaling on the multiplier.

The problem here is that, in today's crucible, a three-hit kill is too slow for a hand cannon unless it fires as quickly as The Last Word. Thorn, Hawkmoon, Timur's Lash, The Devil You Know.... They can all 2-shot you with headshots (some with one headshot and one body shot). So if you have a slow ROF hand cannon, it needs - NEEDS - to be able to 2-shot. Because of how the perk here is designed, it would need to be a 3 shot kill for the first kill and 2 shot kills (with body shots) thereafter, or it would simply never be used because there are so many alternative guns that are always 2 shot kills if one shot is a headshot.
