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?

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.
