Not only is latency annoying with burst fire weapons, but so is their cheapness. How hard is it to get a headshot with a BR when you can just swipe your shot? Sure, four shotting means you have to land them all, but at any distance beyond close/mid, it's up to a little bit of luck anyway with the randomized bullets. When it comes down to it, the BR is a cheap, random weapon. I'm in favor of the carbine, if they kicked up the accuracy a little. They should tone the BR down and not have burst fire weapons be headshot capable.
That being said, I don't think the H1 pistol is good. It kills too fast. I'd be much more in favor of say a 7 shot, single shot weapon like the carbine. That means you have to land a lot of shots (not just 3 like in H1), but you can do it pretty quickly because it's ROF is as fast as you pull a trigger. This means that skill is determined by both aiming ability and your ability to quickly pull the trigger.
So my answer to your question is both yes and no.
Oh, they could also make the head and body count as different damage, but as it is, body shots are the same as headshots until the shields go down.
