unfortunately the numeric weapon stats in destiny are vague at best and it gets only fuzzier when you take into account the individual weapon perks and the armor you have equipped. if you have played battlefield your probably familiar with [url]http://symthic.com[/url] for those of you who are not familiar with the website ... its an amazing tool for the not-so-casual BF player that breaks down EVERY weapon and attachment in the game numerically. its the pet project of a dedicated BF player who took the time to rip the weapon stats out of the game. the site is 100% accurate and has been verified by dice. (it almost seems like too much data at first but it's just a matter of taking the time to understand what each of the numbers represents and how they effect performance) [url=http://symthic.com/bf4-compare?M4_vs_SG553&a11=Heavy%20Barrel&a12=Ergo/Vertical%20grip&a21=Heavy%20Barrel&a22=Ergo/Vertical%20grip]example comparison[/url] i have looked around and there are a lot of resources that address this topic for destiny but nothing with the depth that symthic offers. if nothing else it would be nice to see something that adjusts the weapons calculated numeric values based on the perks selected. a side by side comparison would be nice as well. destiny tracker is close: [url]http://db.destinytracker.com[/url] curious if anyone has stumbled onto anything better?
