Trying to run beacons on Canyon without a directional shield is suicide. Gareth can do it, but if rockets and missiles are present (and they will be) you're screwed. The beauty of the Stalker is that it can shield gekko and treb blasts and cloak for everything else.

As far as clearing beacons, I once killed an Aphid/Ancile Leo and an Aphid Patton with that one magnum and a tremendous amount of patience. The only reason I semi-retired it is because of Beacon Rush, but when beacon-capping dailies come up I still use it.
