This is a HUGE list of what I think are the Best Weapons in Destiny with a section just for the Best PvE weapons and a section just for the Best PvP weapons.
I will also add what the Best Perks I think are for each weapon… All of this is from personal experience, I have used every Legendary and Exotic Weapon to date, and I have been killed by almost everything. The List below are what I see being used most often and what I think are the most effective.
