They could balance it out by making the gun a bolt action like it is in real life or just having a massive recoil in addition to making the AI run and hide after the first shot...which any real living thing would do when it just saw it's buddy's head explode out of nowhere.

That being said, I don't have a problem taking out Elites on Heroic or Legendary. Even with a shotgun, I don't have to backpedal at all; just shoot, punch, duck, shoot.

@jcap: except the plasma pistol doesn't like to be proliferous...
I wish I could +rep this post. Also I'm pretty much agreeing with Arteen on everything.
