Idle conjecture (Destiny)

I was thinking of PvP mechanics this morning and ran into something that didn't make sense to me. Headshots and shields. Shields are this invisible something that protects you all over right? So why do crits still happen when your shields are up?
What if headshots acted like body shots until your shield was gone? Basically the first half of your health. How would this change PvP?
It would dramatically increase the effectiveness of weapons with low crit modifiers like Auto Rifles, and pretty severely punish things like Scout Rifles. Not a good idea without completely reworking weapon damage and design philosophy from the ground up.
