If you applied your formula to a gun like the shipka that has a high freeze and relatively higher firerate it would get a bad rating compared to other guns around its price as it doesn't factor that it fires two bullets at once.

Also for your example you used the old stats of the bar, if you used its current updated stats I don't believe your result would still yield a 'higher rating' with the bar compared to the metalstorm/gm4 despite it being better.
If using the updated stats of the bar, using your forumla the bar would only get a 0.462 rating which puts it significantly below the metalstorm.


It isn't really possible to create a single numeric result that determines a guns hierarchical position which is why when comparing guns you need to compare the individual variables between the two guns
I do think comparing individual variables between two guns would be more beneficial than using this formula at this time, but I have to disagree with you on the idea that it isn't possible to create a numerical result that determines a gun's hierarchical position.

Somehow, some way, I do believe that there could be a formula that takes in all variables of a gun and combines them to yield a number similar to my formula. However, I have no idea how exactly this formula would be created. Chances are there would be many constants in the formula that would be related to code in the game, but Im not sure.

As for now, my formula is somewhat accurate because high tier guns such as the BAR and the M4 rank higher than guns such as Starter Pistols, which makes sense, since the BAR and M4 have pretty much all better statistics.

Anyway, my goal is to keep working on the formula to incorporate all variables of a gun, even the price, so that people can see which guns are worth purchasing. If you would like an explanation of how the formula works so far I could provide one.
