DimensionMW4.GG valueWeightWhat it means in a match
Damage 65 22% 65 is high for this class. It can change how many accurate hits are needed, but hit zones, damage ranges and TTK are not published here.
Fire Rate 166 RPM 18% 166 RPM is low for this class, or roughly one shot every 361 ms. It helps with follow-up shots, but spends ammunition faster and can make recoil harder to settle.
Range 40 10% 40 is high for this class on MW4.GG's relative scale. It favors mixed-distance fights; it is not a published meter value.
Accuracy 53 14% 53 is low for this class. It should make sustained target tracking more or less forgiving, but it is not a direct hit-rate or recoil percentage.
Mobility 85 14% 85 is low for this class. For this weapon class, that mainly changes how safely you can rotate, enter a fight, or escape after a missed challenge.
Handling 77 18% 77 is low for this class. Expect the difference in the overall readiness and control feel of the weapon, not one isolated ADS measurement.
Rounds 7 rounds 2% 7 rounds is low for this class; at the listed fire rate, a full hold lasts about 3 seconds. It changes how often you must reload while chaining fights.
Reserve 14 rounds 2% 14 rounds is low for this class. It gives less room for missed shots and extended lane pressure; it does not improve a single magazine's damage.

Data notes

MW4.GG values come from the Early Access API snapshot checked 2026-08-23. Damage, Range, Accuracy, Mobility and Handling are MW4.GG relative indicators; MW4.GG does not publish their calculation formulas or direct distance units. Fire Rate is rounds per minute. Rounds and Reserve describe ammunition capacity. Missing public values are excluded from the performance calculation.

Match role and first decision

Judge .50 GS inside the Pistols role before comparing it with another class. Start with its intended engagement distance, then check whether its fire rhythm, reload exposure and movement fit your mode.

Practical test checklist

  1. Use the same distance, attachments and target behavior when comparing weapons.
  2. Record hit consistency, reload exposure and movement instead of judging one number alone.
  3. Repeat the test after a map, mode or balance patch changes the conditions.
