Interesting note on Fusion Rifles (Destiny)

My RoF and Reload Speed data comes from PvE. All damage values had to come from PvP, as there's too many variables to get a clean read.

Attack value, for example, means that a green and a blue with the same Impact could deal different damage. Same goes for character level. Unless I could guarantee all weapons had the sane attack, and that I would stay the same level throughout the process, I felt PvE results wouldn't be reliable. At least for my sweeping understandings of each weapon type.

That said, the Charge Speed/Damage thing is also true in PvE. Just tested it. Dammerung 5 dropped from 75 to 70, Nox Revus IV went from 86 to 77.

I'm aware of attack rating (which I assume has no effect on PvP) and impact, but where are you finding these values for damage? Just from the numbers that pop up when shooting things? I also wonder if the fusion rifle with a faster charge still does enough damage to one-hit in PvP. If so, I guess I'll stick with that.
