EDIT: No need to read this... someone pointed out to me, that ToM in PVP doesn't do double damage. it's around 40% more so still takes 4 head shots to kill. So nothing to see here... move along ;-)
so... I haven't confirmed this yet. But there is a post in here about Touch of Malice having an interesting "glitch" when combined with (great... another reason to hate hunters lol) the hunters gauntlets, Sealed Ahamkara's Grasps.
We all know you can fire all your shots down to get the perk of double damage with the touch of malice perk (though this damages you while your mag is empty right?). If you reload the gun, double damage goes away, and self damage goes away.
Apparently, here is the exploit: With the gauntles, there is a perk that has a chance to fill your ammo when you melee damage. If it proc's to refill your ammo, the double damage stays, and you don't get hurt.
Again, I haven't tested this, but if someone who's online can, I'd be interested to see if it works... and if so, what could the impact on PVP be? In my opinion we could be looking at a scout type sniper rifle with one shot kills to the head.
Your thoughts?

A chance to refill ammo it's not guaranteed is it? Also that refilled mag is empty in a heartbeat.
