Sure, but is it necessary? Effect proc chances are ridiculously low unless you have a specific weapon build, and the gimmicky frames got tiresome long ago.
Although I do admit, Destiny doesn't have a gun comparable to my ridiculously armor-piercing Boltor, weeell, maybe with the exception of terribly underwhelming Skyburner's Oath. Handcannons are more fun that my crit Vasto as well.
