On one hand, ๐
The other, aren't they just gonna delete that gun from your inventory? A simple check if expansion == owned is all they gotta do?
Bungie 100% can remove the gun from people's inventories, but they won't. They're usually pretty hands-off on stuff like this, because your inventory is accessible cross-platform, but your purchased expansions are not. So they'll leave the gun in your inventory because they know that the possibility exists that some people may change their minds on their original purchase and re-buy the expansion for a different platform.

Ive done this a couple times and you get to keep all the pre order bonuses.
