hitscan doesn't mean instant kill. it means instant hit detection (like if everybody was hosting).
and......... why not. but it might be hard to code and stuff.
"Hitscan" it means placing the reticule over a target and pulling the trigger guarantees a hit. In Halo 2, the BR was a hitscan weapon. In Halo 3, this is not the case, not even for the host. Two factors were added to make this so: travel time and spread for every bullet fired.
Anyway, hitscan is asinine for a burst-fire or fully automatic weapon. Halo may be science fiction, but the human infantry weapons adhere to realistic physical sensibilities. You're burst-firing projectiles from a gun, not playing laser tag. If you want hitscan weapons, make a gametype with sniper rifles and increased health.
