1- or 2-shot Shotguns and Fusion Rifles?

In the Crucible, players will sometimes kill me with a Shotgun or Fusion Rifle in only one shot, but it almost always takes me two. I think I've gotten maybe only one or two one-shot kills with a Fusion Rifle. Is there some secret to this, like aiming for the head or having a high Impact attribute? Or is it just luck?

    After a few tries, I managed to find a shotgun that reliably kills in one shot, as well as an auto rifle with a fast ROF and low recoil. My average K/D has increased significantly. It really sucks that this game is more about having better gear by chance than outplaying your opponents.

    • range is the end-all-be-all for both. both fusion and shotgun spread with range, fusion though seems to penetrate and have a longer effective range, with reduced power.

    • The problem isn't the shotgun. The problem is the Melee shotgun combo. Same thing in HALO happened.

    • closer you are the better your chances of one shot kill

    • Fusion Rifle kills in a shot I get. That's normal. But yeah, some people have been wrecking me with shotgun kills in one shot, and it usually takes me two. The only thing I can think is that my health/shields aren't fully restored (though I don't think that's the issue), or that they have the mod of "when aiming, shot is more focused/lethal) which makes sense. But yeah, that started happening today. It's rough out there.

      Headshot wins every time. Those fusion rifles are awkward but lethal in one massive bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Shotguns are well.... shotguns.
