Clip size is the only exception, since that number represents something meaningful.

Why is clip size so important, compared to Rate-of-Fire for example? As far as I know, there isn't a sniper rifle in the game that holds more than 6 rounds a standard clip. Therefore, The bar for sniper rifle clip-size would be full at 6, and half at three. Other weapons would follow suit.

Taking a guess, probably because you're presented with that number in the HUD, and because you can count the shots.

The tower crucible vendor has two handcannons for sale, "Lefty" and "Righty". Due to the way the game currently is, you can only compare vendor items to your currently equipped weapon.

I totally forgot to mention that, that's another reason to have them. It would be nice to be able to have the right trigger comparison for any two weapons, but failing that, or even along with that, having numbers instead of bars would let you remember or write down the number and then go compare it to any other gun.
