๐ Time-to-Kill (TTK) & DPS Analysis
When analyzing raw combat efficiency, Time-to-Kill (TTK) is the most critical metric. In the 0-10m range, the SKS delivers a TTK of 0.60s, while the VSS clocks in at 0.40s.
The VSS's faster firing cycle allows it to shred armor 50.0% quicker than the SKS.

๐ Recoil Control & Effective Range
Controlling your weapon is just as important as its raw damage. The SKS features a challenging recoil pattern.
At medium range (20m+), damage drop-off begins to impact performance. The SKS retains 85% of its damage, resulting in a mediocre TTK of 0.80s.
๐ Handling & Tactical Mobility
In competitive situations, handling speeds often dictate the winner of a surprise engagement. The SKS features an ADS speed of 240ms, while the VSS transition takes 240ms.
