Attack Damage vs Impact

Can someone definitively explain what determines damage in this game? Best yet, could Bungie just... put it out there so we know? I keep seeing different explanations saying completely different things. A straight, tested answer would be great. A straight, Bungie confirmed answer would be greater. Thanks. ~Ricochet EDIT 1: I also need to know, apparently, if Impact is the same across all weapon classes. Does my Pulse Rifle with the same impact as my Scout Rifle do the same damage per round (not per burst)? Again, how do we know? Anything confirmed?

    I think of it this way, although it might not be correct. All weapons of the same type (primary/secondary/heavy) have roughly the same DPS (at least they should...) Impact is how much damage each individual bullet does relative to the total damage output
