Why I think there aren't more Icebreakers in PvP (Destiny)

Icebreaker's recoil makes two shot kills very difficult. If I don't happen to line up the headshot, or my target is rather still and giving me a clean chance at a headshot, I'll just hit them with 2 to the body and be done with it. With P&T or Praedyth's Revenge, the recoil is practically negligible, making this really easy. Icebreaker's recoil is so great that your target comes out of scope, making it pretty challenging to reacquire at the speeds PvP requires.

That being said, if you can do this with Icebreaker, you're a better sniper than me and you have my respect.
