I think maybe they're trying to make "power weapons" all one-hit-kill, maybe? Machine guns really don't have a place in that scheme, I guess.
Fusion rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, rockets, and even the grenade launcher all have the potential of a kill from a single hit. The best machine guns in D1 required multiple hits to kill.
Just my guess. But yeah, they don't want people roaming around with all that destructive power for so long, I guess.

Grenade launcher... a one hit kill... pfffft you're funny
-
Well, yeah, that one needs tuning, but it'll still melt faces faster than any D1 machine gun or D2 primary. Definitely can't use the "bounce farther" perk, though.
-
If you hit someone directly it's a 1 hit kill.
-
Nope it's not. I would say it is about 50% of the time. It's damage is so unpredictable it's stupid. I've hit several people directly and it doesn't even go through their shield
-
Don't know what to tell ya mate, GL is a 1 shot bro.
-
It's definitely not.
-
It definitely is. All over weapon are. I have one shot and been one shot by grenade launchers. You have to get a direct hit tho.
-
It can be a one shot, but not 100% of the time. It's pretty unreliable
-
Well than you're extremely lucky, I've shot people directly, and it was direct because it exploded while they were jumping in mid air, so nothing else to blow up on. And did about half damage to their shields.

You aren't allowed to use logic here. Don't you know that?
