Floor attachments

Strong out of the box. Its base magazine already leaves useful room beyond one purple-shield knock.

Separate ceiling upgrade: Double Tap adds 14.8 model points before availability is considered. Unlocks at 500 damage.

Attachments

No distance axis: ordinary Apex bullets do not have conventional damage drop-off. This compares mechanical TTK from the trigger pull, with burst gaps, charge, wind-up and required reloads included. The comparison link preserves every selected gun and setting.
