I have recently bought Destiny, and I have noticed that I seem to acquire many duplicate items. For example, I have three Firebreak helmets (however one of them is Firebreak Type 4), and I also acquired three Trax Callum I scout rifles, (although I have dismantled two of them). However, each of these items says that they unlock at different levels and have different attack powers/defense points, even though they are the same thing. Is this a bug, or is this normal?
Duplicate items with different statistics in Destiny

In Destiny, all of the weapons and armor are randomly generated except for Legendary and Exotic equipment. Generally the higher the level requirement, the better the stats that are rolled for your equipment. Legendary and exotic equipment will actually have unique names/stats that are the same for multiple copies of the same piece.
This is completely normal, and part of the "Destiny" way of doing loot drops.
