I'm missing something... (Destiny)

Each shot of PvE golden gun, without any buffs, does 864 damage at 299 light to a raid thrall. My scout rifle does 1064 with a critical and 842 with a normal hit. So my GG is basically a high impact scout rifle that can't critical, has only 3 shots, takes 2 seconds to turn on, and has a 4 minute reload.

Huh, so is there a big disconnect between Crucible GG and PvE GG? FOr instance if my Warlock were that Thrall in PvP the GG shot (at 864?) WOULD kill me unless I have some very specific Sunsinger build on... But that would mean that a headshot from your Scout rifle would more than kill me? I'm missing something.

Perhaps Gunslinger's super is under powered in PvE but the damage is much higher in PvP?

Yeah that's actually the way all Guardian abilities in Destiny work. The scaling for PvP is significantly different than PvE.
