Akimbo Sawn-Offs *VS* Aximbo Super Shorties
It's been bugging me for some game-time now - which is the better setup for quick and messy close quarters shotgunning?
In this my glorious thread I will conduct some calculations regarding this particular issue. Let's hope my limited mathematical skills won't be too much of an obstacle.
Conditions:
Playing the latest 1.13.
Winner is the setup with the greatest damage output per time
All guns are loaded with Flechettes
All guns fitted with 2x small scopes, insight LAMs, Reflex sights
Sawn-Offs fitted with Duckbills (no effect with flechettes)
Super Shorties fitted with Barrel Extenders (Plus 10 tiles of range)
Gun Statistics:
Mostly equal - small, short range, single-handed, non-automatic 12 gauge shotguns; both fire for 23 APs
Major irrelevant difference: Super Shorties have greater range due to the Barrel Extender. Irrelevant due to close quarters scenario
Major relevant difference: Sawn-Offs have burst fire ability (26 APs, 2 shots at once, empties gun if used)
Major relevant difference: Super Shorties have 4 round capacity - Sawn-Offs hold 2 rounds
Major relevant difference: Super Shorties have to be pumped for 9 APs after each shot
Minor relevant difference: Sawn-Offs take 14 APs to reload, Super Shorties take 16 APs
The basic thought now following is that a Sawn-Off can be fired twice for 23 APs each, ergo 46 APs, then reload for 14 -> 60 APs used and ready for the next barrage. 60 APs for 2 shots, 120 APs for 4 shots.
The Super Shorty takes 23 APs to fire and 9 to pump the next round, making 32 per shot until the tube is empty. 128 APs plus 16 for reloading equals 144 APs for four shots with the next ones ready.
Therefore, the Super Shorty is inferior to the Sawn-Off; disregarding its greater potential range and the nifty advantage of the Sawn-Offs two-shell packages fitting more snugly into the inventory.
Bursting Sawn-Off *VS* Akimbo Sawn-Offs
Let's see about this one another time, laziness demands its time with me. I'll be having to research the penalties for dual-wielding to see how this goes, but I don't wanna right now.
Huh.
