I used to think that, too. Then today I tried it in Crucible. Two burst headshots: a surefire kill. That was the first time I racked up so many points without using Thorn(I'm a Throrn scrub). It absolutely wrecks people. The only times I died were when I went up against TLW users. And it also brought me my first exotic reward from Crucible: a Mida. [spoiler]so of course today Xur's gonna bring Mida[/spoiler]
