How is Bungie going to fix short range damage. They can't because they need to add 2 plus variables to the stats. Plus a 9mm is crap at range while the sniper is good both close and far. Just happens to be its strengths. Nobody cried about CQC sniping in Halo. Why now, same company with similar recipe. Please keep in mind that was a comparison. Few weapons have short and long range lethality.
