That might not be it though. It could just be that the bars are all too often not correct, and can even go down when they should go up, or vice versa, and using numbers instead would make it easier to confirm that.

We've been over this. The bar already represents a number, AKA how full the bar is. No bar is 0, full bar is 100. Displaying a number would be less useful, since the bars offer a quick way to compare.

As far wanting to know the absolute number, that is meaningless since so much affects your damage. The numbers only make sense when compared to another weapon - This scout rifle has more impact but less stability than this other one. This is what the bar does anyway.

Look at the bar for a sniper rifle. Not very full is it? Well, the sniper certainly does more damage than a hand cannon, whose bar is large. That bar is only meaningful when looking between sniper rifles.

If you want a number, look up the gun on DestinyDB. It lists the exact numerical value, which has zero practical value over the bar.
