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 determines if your weapon does full damage to certain level of enemies. Thus a 331 weapon will do full damage to lvl 33 enemies. You can calculate this by taking the last number off the 3 number attack number like 331=33. Impact is how much damage you do per shot.
