No question, you're right about this.

In my case, it's my complete inability to dodge incoming damage (I always seem to back off a cliff or sidestep right into a wall or step on my own goddamn mine when I try and do that) and my sub-par accuracy when I'm not half a mile away peering through a scope.

Heavy weapons and armor definitely compensate for that. Oh yes they do. :)
