Hand Cannon Damage Chart
I was curious (and bored) so I put together a chart of the damage dealt by all of the current hand cannons except TFWPKY...because I don't have it. I also included Fate Bringer since it's always a topic of hot discussion
All kills were tested on level 33 Hallowed Knights and separately on level 33 Acolytes within a few feet to ensure maximum damage.
[b]Hallowed Knights - Level 33[/b]
Red Hand IX - 489
Thorn - 456 + 336 (DoT)
Fate Bringer - 427 + Firefly up to 700 (w/explosive rounds 285 + 143)
Timurs Lash - 540
Word of Crota - 437 + 277
The Chance- 489
The Last Word- 549 hip fire (416 zoomed)
Venation III - 489
The Devil You Don’t - 437
TFWPKY - 489 *thanks Jdaniel28*
Hawkmoon - 537 (716 luck in the chamber) *Thanks TheYerik*
[b]Acolyte - Level 33[/b]
Red Hand IX - 1172
Thorn - 1100 + 402 (DoT)
Fate Bringer - 1024 + Firefly up to 700 (w/explosive rounds 683 + 342)
Timurs Lash - 1296
Word of Crota - 1047
The Chance - 1172
The Last Word - 1316 hip fire (997 zoomed)
Venation III - 1172
The Devil You Don’t - 1047
TFWPKY - 1172 *thanks Jdaniel28*
Hawkmoon - *send me #s I'll add them*
Of course figuring out which gun is the best comes down to other factors like the perk roll, RoF, and ammo which all factor into your DPS. And there's always your personal play style to consider. Either way I hope this helps pick out which hand cannon is right for you!

1 ReplyMy lash has luck in the chamber, and that one round does 1632. Hawkmoon is close to the same on its lucky rounds as well.

2 RepliesPvP damage chart: All hand cannons* Thorn with DoT 2 critical shots to kill All others: 3 critical shots 4 non critical shots *max impact hand cannons such as Painted Big Chief or Timurs Lash can be 2 critical shots against low armour Guardians.

2 RepliesHuh! I have Lash and rarely use it... You may have given me a task for the weekend!

4 RepliesSame chart with PVP dmg would be great. Precision and body. I'll start you off: Hawkmoon precision 96 or 126 with luck in the chamber.

2 RepliesEdited by sgtsagara02: 3/30/2015 10:51:14 PMI recorded some damage numbers today against lvl 30 enemies with my red hand comparing explosive and non explosive rds. [b]Lvl 30 Acolyte[/b] Non explosive rounds. 1723 precision dmg 525 body dmg Explosive rounds 1149 precision dmg(it seems that with explosive rds if precision damage is enough to kill the enemy then the explosion won't proc and you don't get the extra damage) 575 body dmg + 288 explosive dmg= 863 total dmg. [b]Lvl 30 knight[/b] Non explosive rounds. 1723 precision dmg 525 body dmg Explosive rounds 1149 precision damage + 575 explosive dmg= 1724 total dmg( 1 more damage then without explosive rds) 575 body dmg + 288 explosive dmg= 863 total dmg [b]Lvl 30 hallowed knight[/b] Non explosive rounds 718 precision dmg 479 body dmg Explosive rounds 479 precision dmg + 288 explosive dmg= 767 total dmg 240 body dmg + 240 explosive dmg = 480 total damage. So in every instance explosive rounds do more damage ranging from 1 to 337.

1 ReplyWhat level were you when you tested this?

1 ReplyI love the red hand. But also I don't have most of these
-
1 ReplyI can only tell you what damage Hawkmoon is causing in PvP in comparision to timurs lash Hawkmoon: Headshot - 94 (126 - 233 with bonus damage bullets) Bodyshot - 63 Timurs Lash: Headshot - 95 Bodyshot - 64 So not that big difference, but Hawkmoon has its extra damage rounds which can staple on each other, so you can either do [i]massive[/i] damage or even [b]one hit[/b] other players. In addition, Hawkmoons overall stars are way better.

5 RepliesHave you thought about doing this with level 32 enemies to see what the true maximum damage is when you are same level as the enemy?
-
1 ReplyAwesome, thanks!!! Interessting that red hand and chance are the same!? Well will always prefer red hand though... Tfwpky could be similar to those two I would expect... And good to see that our beloved FB still keeps up with the big guys, if you hit the head ;-)
-
1 ReplyInteresting. This is damage per shot, but it doesn't factor in how many shots per minute you can fire with the gun. The last word may look low, but it fires rapidly. You will probably get better (or same) damage over time with TLW than TL.

4 RepliesThe range on some hand cannons is insane. Some can shoot so far they compete with scout rifles.
