Sturm is an exotic Hand Cannon in Destiny 2. It's main perks are geared around instantly reloading whatever secondary weapon is equipped after a kill, especially the legendary sidearm Drang, which does the same for Sturm. Therefore, Sturm is the first exotic weapon geared towards synergizing with another weapon.
Sturm is aquired in the Relics of the Golden Age quest. This quest becomes available after completing the Red War campaign and the World Quest on Nessus.
Lore
These ancient ceremonial pistols can be dated back to the early Golden Age. A faded inscription reads "To Sigrun, from Victor."
"Please! You don't understand. I'm supposed to be on that ship." The guard smiled at Sigrun with gentle condescension. "That's not possible, ma'am." She understood why he would believe that; all of the colonists had entered cryo two weeks ago, but she could see the crew waving for pictures. They were awake! She could be awake, too. "I'm supposed to be on that ship," she insisted, leaning around the guard. There was still time. She could find whatever horrible cryo-coffin they'd loaded Victor into; she could kneel before it and beg him to forgive her. He wouldn't hear her but he wasn't gone yet— "I need you to take a step back, ma'am." "Captain Jacobson!" Sigrun darted past the guard. "I'm a colonist! You can't leave without me!"
Gameplay
This hand cannon is best used with the companion sidearm, Drang. When used together, Drang with refill the magazine of Sturm with each kill Drang gets, refilling Strum's magazine up to the max of 20. This can often be helpful when dealing with large mobs of enemies. With Update 1.2.0, Strum now gains an extra damage round for each Drang kill, making this weapon combo very effective against other players in The Crucible.

Trivia
The Sturm and its partner sidearm Drang could be a reference to the Durmstrang Institute from the Harry Potter universe(the Durmstrang Institute is another school for those who have magical abilities, akin to Hogwarts). When the 1st letter("D") of Durmstrang is switched with the 5th and 6th letters of Durmstrang("S" and "T" respectively) and the 5th and 6th letter of Durmstrang are placed at the front, it forms the word SturmDrang, when split up SturmDrang becomes Sturm and Drang. Also, the lore and flavor text of the Sturm reference a man Victor. In the book and movie adaptions of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" there is a character named Viktor Krum who was chosen as Durmstrang's champion(in the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" each school selected a contestant known as a champion, there were 2 champions from Hogwarts, Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory, 1 from Durmstrang, Viktor Krum, and 1 champion from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Fleur Delacour, note that Hogwarts had 2 champions as a result of one of Voldemort's servants, Bartemius Crouch Jr. placing Harry's name in the cup) in the Triwizard Tournament. Victor in the lore of Sturm could possibly be another reference to Viktor Krum from the Harry Potter universe.
