Well it does to an extent. If you both had auto rifles, and both hit at the same time, yours should rip through his defence quicker than he can rip through yours. But a 300 attack gun is gonna do the same damage, no matter the level. Level is for defence, not attack. Also, being that you've quoted from the same article...

You completely missed your shot. If you would have hit, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
