SMG vs AR damage
I was testing damage of few weapons today using Leviathan guards. With my current light lvl, at point blank range, I had per shoot dmg:
* Antiope-D: 193 body / 250 head
* Origin Story: 170 body / 213 head
* The Last Breath: 125 body / 163 head
Antiope and Origin Story had same power rating. TLB few points lower.
I find it little bit strange, because Origin Story has more impact than Antiope-D (29 vs 25 in DIM). So impact stat is broken and compare gun feature in the game is almost completely useless.
Also, Antiope-D and The Last Breath are 600rpm guns. TLB deals 35% less dmg. Quite a high price for having few more bullets in the mag.

Edited by Ascent_Cobra: 6/8/2018 10:07:06 PMThe only thing you accomplished in your weapon test is the damage each weapon did to X target. Everything else is flawed/meaningless conclusions.

Nice comparison. However you are comparing apples to oranges. Try comparing the two at lengthier distances. The stats are meant to compare weapons of the same type not necessarily across weapon types. Example, Uriel’s Has a larger “range” stat than “metronome-45” but Uriel’s damage falls off a lot quicker because it is an AR and not a Scout Rifle.

2 RepliesSMGs do more damage because they're meant for close quarters. Auto rifles do less damage but are more reliable and versatile because of their range and recoil patterns.

4 RepliesThe difference is the range. SMGs will have a comparatively high damage to an auto of the same RoF, but that damage will be lost quickly do to the steep damage drop off for SMGs. Autos do not suffer from this until much father ranges and carry a better average damage. Also, stats are per weapon type. This means that one can only compare Impact on an auto, for example, among only other autos in terms of raw damage comparison. Each weapon type is tuned differently. IMO, the stat numbers and indication should be tuned so one could see how much more or less weapons of different types have, but I don't make the game.

Antiope also has a far higher fate of fire

that compare ability is only accurate when comparing guns of the same type like all autos or all smgs just saying
