Does Not Compute

The Does Not Compute scout rifle is a powerful weapon. Oddly named, it has an impact stat maxed out as well as a high range and has good handling and reloading stats as well. It has a perk allowing for increased movement speed. This allows you to strafe from side to side while aiming.

Better Devils

Better Devils is also a good hand cannon. This has the adaptive perk like the Suros but its projectiles create an area of damage upon impact. It is a good weapon to use when outnumbered.

Copperhead-4SN

Another good sniper rifle is the Copperhead-4SN. It has a perk increasing accuracy, stability and handling when firing the weapon crouched. It is a very reliable weapon to be used from a safe distance away.
