Computed from each creature's own hit-zone table against this weapon's damage type, at point blank. Falloff at range can only ask for more shots, never fewer - so a creature this weapon one-shots here may need two further out.
Handling
What firing does to your view
The muzzle climbs 3.5° after every shot. How much of the screen that eats is not fixed - it depends on how wide your own field of view is, so these are drawn at the game's default 55°, and a wider setting costs you less of it.
- The kick itself plays out in 0.1s, long over before you can fire again at 1.35s.
- Aiming slows how fast you can swing the gun around to 60% of normal.
- Its kick is steeper than 11% of 154 pistol loadouts.
Where the shot goes
Your weapon rests shouldered, so that is the cone an unaimed shot uses - crouching, walking and jumping all scale it. Sighted, it closes to a point.
- 9 Jumping ×2
- 6.75 Walking ×1.5
- 4.5 Shouldered
- 2.25 Crouched ×0.5
- 0.001 Aiming
- The grey dashed ring is the shouldered cone of a Conversion, for comparison.
- Its shouldered cone is better than 19% of 154 pistol loadouts.
- Jumping throws a sighted shot away entirely - the cone opens from 0.001 to 5.

Where a trait swaps in a different reload animation, the seconds are that animation's own length, separate from the weapon's reload stat. A longer start is not always worse: on a clip-fed rifle the expedited animation takes longer to begin and then loads several rounds at once.
Recommendations
Fanning Recommended 8 pts Faster rate-of-fire when using one-handed or two-handed single-action pistols.
Ambidextrous 3 pts Quicker reloading of dual-wielded pistols, and custom clip reloads for semi-auto pistol sets.
Crack Shot Reduce sway for weapons and increase zoom level in iron sights for rifles and pistols with stocks. Excludes shotguns and sawed-off variants.
