Prosecutor
Prosecutor is an overlooked auto-rifle. It's currently ranked number 11 on the Destiny Tracker, but this one rifle you never want to dismantle. It has an insane fire rate for how accurate and stable it is, and its accuracy is further enhanced thanks to the "Tap the Trigger" perk.

This cat's been out of the bag for a while, and many of you have been using (and swearing by) Uriel's Gift for a long time now. There's no mystery here. Uriel's Gift is a Guardian favorite due to its obscene combination of high accuracy and dazzling fire-rate.
