How the comparison works
Every number comes from the same model our sniper calculator uses: base calibre damage, per-weapon distance falloff, hit-location multipliers, ammo-type modifiers and armor reduction, straight from the beta's data files. Time to kill counts the bullet's actual flight time, so slow rounds pay for it at range — a shotgun that "kills in 0.1 s" on paper still takes a quarter second to land pellets at 60 m.
- TTK — (shots to kill − 1) × 60,000 ÷ RPM, plus flight time. Lower is better.
- Damage per shot — after falloff, location, ammo and armor. Shotguns show total across all pellets.
- STK — shots needed against 100 health. Steps up as falloff and armor eat into damage.

Picking a comparison that matters
Same-class match-ups tell you the most: assault rifle vs assault rifle at your usual engagement range and against the armor you actually meet. A budget question — the AK74 at $1,600 against the M4 at five figures — reads differently at Level 3 armor than it does unarmored. Cross-class comparisons (SMG vs shotgun for point defense, marksman rifle vs LMG for overwatch) are where the three graphs disagree with each other, and that disagreement is the answer: one wins inside 40 m, the other everywhere else.
FAQ
Which weapon has the fastest TTK?
Unarmored and close: one-shot weapons — AMR 50 and shotguns. Among automatics the M4 leads at roughly 0.28 s to the upper torso at 50 m. Armor tiers reshuffle the board; that's what the tool is for.
How is TTK calculated?
(Shots to kill − 1) × 60,000 ms ÷ RPM, plus the round's simulated flight time to the target distance.
Does armor change the ranking?
Yes, hard. High rate-of-fire weapons with small calibres fall off a cliff against Level 3–4 armor while heavy calibres and AP loads barely notice.
What do the ammo types do?
HP: +100% vs flesh, −30% vs armor and helmets. AP: −20% vs flesh, +30% vs armor and helmets. FMJ is the baseline.
Are shotgun numbers realistic?
They assume all pellets connect — true up close, generous past the falloff knee. The damage graph shows where that stops.
Is the tool free?
Yes — free in the browser, no download, no account.
