Weapons come in two types: "Weapon 1"s (or "Primary Weapons") and "Weapon 2"s (or "Secondary Weapons"). Every gun does a certain amount of fixed damage, unless the target is crouching (which reduces the damage inflicted by 40%), or is is under the effect of certain perks. You can learn more about how damage is applied on to a player on Health, including how damage is applied a decimals. All weapons have a shooting distance of 500px, although certain guns fire from further away from the body than others, resulting in a slightly longer shooting distance from a player. It would currently cost Potato 2650 potatoes to buy all weapons in the armory.

While some guns are favored more than others, every gun has potential if you use it in the way it's designed for. The gun someone chooses should match their play style, or their play style should match their gun. Fighting the same way when using a Famas (fast speed, low damage) as well as a M40 A5 (low speed, high damage) would result in one or both not being used to their best advantage,

Some terms used in the tables below:

  • Fire Rate - A fire rate is found by firing a full magazine, and timing how long it takes from the firing of the first shot to the firing of the last, and then the full magazine size is divided by the time took to empty it, to come up with the Shots Per Second. In the case of non-automatic firing weapons, it is simply fired as fast as possible.
  • Precision - The precision of the weapon is the percentage of a weapons inaccuracy, ranging from 100% (perfect) to 0% (worst, ~30° inaccuracy in either direction). As such, a higher number means a more accurate weapon. This can be especially important when attempting to shot someone from further away, but is less important in closer combat. The precision needed to always hit a distant target (assuming your aiming at the center of a target's hit-box) appears to be 80% or higher.
  • Scope - When a weapon has a scope, a player can see farther than normal the further away their cursor is from their character. Every weapon with a scope can see up to ~8 squares farther than a weapon without one.

If you need to update a weapon's stats, you must update it on the weapon's page; it will then automatically update it here (you may need to purge the page to see results).

Primary Weapons (Weapon 1)[]

Primary weapons (unlike secondary weapons) require you to use Clip clips when you reload. You can only have 4 clips at a time, not including the one you're currently using. Note that both the damage listed here is the weapon's base damage, not affected by perks. The primary weapon is the one a player starts off with when spawned/respawned.

Despite rumors to the contrary, using the M40 A5 (Sniper) as an automatic (versus manually firing each shot via a click) does not decrease it's firing rate. Using it as an automatic may not be the most efficient use of ammo, but firing rate is not lowered. This is true of all automatic weapons' fire rates.

Notes:

  • The x4 on the SPAS 12 is there to show the fact every shot of the SPAS 12 fires 4 separate bullets.

Secondary Weapons (Weapon 2)[]

Unlike primary weapons, secondary weapons do not have a limit on the number of times they can be reloaded. However, this is balanced out by their all-around weaker stats. Note that both the damage listed here are the weapon's base damage, not affected by perks. No secondary weapons have a scope.

Weapon Statistics[]

The tables above list the essential data for each weapon. The tables below use that data to construct meaningful statistics to better understand when a gun may be useful. However, do note that these don't account for real scenarios, such as obstacles, missing, sniping tactics (shooting from a safe location), or cases such as trying to kill a VIP and only getting limited shots off before a quick death.

The DPS (Damage Per Second) is around how much damage you would do to an opponent in a second if you shot non-stop (at the fastest speed for non-automatic) with every shot hitting. Higher numbers are better, but keep in mind this doesn't account for accuracy, or how fast you may actually be shooting (in case of non-automatics).

  • DPS (Short) DPS doesn't take into account the ammo in a clip or reload time (damage * fire rate).
  • DPS (Long) DPS depicts the damage of 1 clip plus the time to reload over 1 minute (DPM / 60). This helps depict the result of a long reload and small clip size on the DPS.

The DPC (Damage Per Clip) is how much damage a firing a weapon's complete clip would be (assuming every shot hit).

The DWDPS (Distance Weighted Damage Per Second) incorporates the hit chance (supplied on table below) into the DPS (Hit Chance * DPS). This helps to depict the DPS when firing from a long distance, instead of up close.

The Time to Deal 40 Dmg is how long it would take to kill someone if every shot hit (assuming a full clip). This is calculated with the formula: (ceiling(40 / damage) - 1) * (1 / fire rate) [+ (reload - (1 / fire rate)) * number of reloads, if clip doesn't hold enough ammo to kill]. You can also replace "40" with the HP of your choice to find different times. (R) denotes a weapon requiring a reload to do 40 damage (with the reload time included).

Notes:

  • The SPAS 12 assumes all 4 bullets in a shot hit the target.

Accuracy Field[]

Image by Solfn

Accuracy Fields are a way to visually represent the accuracy of a weapon (at least to some degree). Accuracy fields take advantage of two facts:

  • If you place your cursor right in front of a weapon's barrel, bullets will fire through walls (and players, this bug cannot be exploited to unfairly kill others). (indicated by the red dot in the middle of the circle)
  • As you move away from this spot you will start to fire in two directions only, with the degree between the two firing directions becoming smaller as you move further away until eventually the gun shoots as normal. (indicated by the edge of the circle)

The larger the accuracy field, the more accurate the weapon. (Note that the M40 A5 is not represented as simply a dot, but a circle of infinite radius)

The radius of the accuracy field is the Precision Radius.

Shooting Distance[]

All bullets shoot a distance of 500px from the point at which a specific gun fires, right around the tip (the "outer range"). However, not all guns are the same length, causing some guns to actually shoot a little further from a player than others (the "inner range"). The inner range is also what allows you to shoot through blocks you are next to, due to the distance between the tip of the gun and the player's hitbox.

The inner range can be measured by draw a conj wall on a flat surface, walking up to it, and then measuring the distance from the inside of the first wall (the edge of the player's hitbox) to the point where the "harmless bullets" glitch occurs (the exact point where the bullet spawns). Depending on how many blocks away the bullets would spawn, the guns with the same block distances seem to have the same inner ranges.

When using a weapon with a scope and viewing as much extra distance as you can (~8 blocks), you end up viewing most of the outer range of a bullet (800px screen width / 2 + ~8 blocks (8*12px = 96px) ~= 500px). As such, in this scenario most of the firing distance that goes off-screen when using a scope weapon is attributed to the inner scope.
