Shots to kill: target health divided by damage per shot (10 damage), rounded up. Time to kill: shots minus one, times 60 divided by 143 rounds per minute - the first shot lands at time zero. Full armor is treated as one flat 200 pool. Figures are point blank, before damage dropoff. This weapon's PvP headshot modifier in the game files is 1.0, so headshots change nothing.
Bars scale each stat against the highest value among this game's weapons. Spread is tighter when lower. Numbers carry their source and game version. Hover or tap a date for details.
