How to read a weapon comparison
Start with the damage rows. Chest damage per hit decides how many shots a fight takes, and headshot damage shows how much a well-placed first shot is worth. For automatics, DPS combines damage per hit with fire rate, so it is the fairest single number for close-range trades.
Ammo type scales everything proportionally: hollow point deals ×2 and armor-piercing ×0.8 of FMJ damage against an unarmored target, so HP never changes which gun wins, only by how much. How HP and AP behave against armor has not been measured yet.
The loadout rows show what you can build: more magazines and attachment options mean more ways to tune the gun, and the unlock level tells you how far you have to progress before you can use it. Weight, fire modes, magazines and attachments are read directly from the in-game Equipment Vendor.
The comparison tool covers all 34 weapons in WARDOGS, 33 of them with measured Firing Range damage.
