Well, the genestealer is bigger than the bullet round. So, assuming it is hitting with its claws at supersonic speed, it only makes sense that the genestealer hits harder.

Because a single bullet has one chance to get through heavy armour at the point of contact. A genestealer can scrabble and scrape and clamp and pinch awaý at weak points as much as it likes when it hits combat. Referencing at least 2 of my previous posts, the rules for CC and shooting are ŕepresentative of the ability of a unit to cause damage, they do not represent a single blow or round fired.
