I'm thinking along the lines of Quake 4. You spawn with the Machinegun which is pretty accurate, deals decent fully auto damage, and when zoomed in deals greater damage semi auto. What I like about it is you don't start crippled, and it isn't so perfect that you never pick anything else up again. Of course, Quake 4's needler (nail gun) is actually worthwile to grab.
That would be really cool, kinda like the 2003 E3 Battle Rifle, where you shot in bursts unzoomed, and shot in single bursts zoomed. For the sake of balance, I'm sure bungie wouldn't mind changing up the realism of the same bullets doing different damage when your either zoomed or unzoomed.
The sniper rifle in Unreal Championship 2 fires one shot when zoomed that can register headshots, which is almost always a one shot kill. When unscoped it fires a three shot burst that cannot register headshots. There is all sorts of ways to skin this cat.
Another approach is to leave the pistol, uhm, I mean Combat Rifle's damage the same, but lower the ROF.
Yet another is to tweak the damage so that instead of two body + one headshot to kill, you have something like....
Three Headshots = Kill
Five Body Shots = Kill
Three Body and a Headshot = Kill
Two Body and Two headshots = Kill
