Attack Damage vs Impact
Can someone definitively explain what determines damage in this game? Best yet, could Bungie just... put it out there so we know? I keep seeing different explanations saying completely different things. A straight, tested answer would be great.
A straight, Bungie confirmed answer would be greater. Thanks.

EDIT 1: I also need to know, apparently, if Impact is the same across all weapon classes. Does my Pulse Rifle with the same impact as my Scout Rifle do the same damage per round (not per burst)? Again, how do we know? Anything confirmed?
-
Damage = (rate of fire) x (impact). Every gun in the game adheres to a strict impact vs fire rate budget. Except some exotics and machine guns that use stability vs damage variants in the form of gun barrels. More impact, less rate of fire or vice versa.
