Thorn can take you down with 2 shots, shot in a timeframe of 0,36 seconds. The dot will take over and kill you. So the gun you're looking for has to either have a killtime faster than that 0,36 seconds or it has to prevent the death from the dot.
Statistically, there are only 2 non-one hit primaries that can beat thorn.
The last word. It has a ridiculous 0,26 seconds time to kill that could outgun thorn with 2 shots before the thorn could fire the second shot.
The second gun is the Red death. 2 shots from thorn do not kill instantly, but rather inevitably with a dot. 3 third shot is a sealing shot. Red death could kill the thorn user just before that critical third shot and stop the dot before it drains the rest health.

That doesn't take any lag comp or auto tracking into consideration which completely changes all of that The thorn will still allow more mobility, a need for lower accuracy, better range, and that is the reason many use thorn over a red death. Theres a performance gap and even when u use it red death users aren't a problem worth worrying about If that was the case many would be on the red death nonstop, but logic will only get u so far. On an even playing field, 2 players of equal reaction time and accuracy; thorn is the no brainer and the usage shows

That is true. I also made the comparison purely based on ttk. There are still other very important factors like recoil, spread and generally the ease of use. Red death has a steep kick with 3 round bursts that all need to hit the head. Thorn has almost no recoil whatsoever and consecutive hits are a cake without any spread.
