๐ Detailed Analysis: G18 vs Hand Cannon in Free Fire
The G18 provides superior accuracy (57), making it more reliable at range. The G18's 480 DPS output is the deciding edge here, outpacing the 405 DPS alternative in sustained firefights. Shots-to-kill: 5 for the G18, 3 for the Hand Cannon. Converting that to clock time, the G18 lands kills in 0.375s where the other needs 2.744s.
Ultimately, the best weapon is the one that fits your playstyle. If you prioritize fast eliminations in close-range fights, the G18 has the mathematical edge. If you play passively or engage at mid-range, test both before committing to a loadout slot.
