Mobility & Handling: Movement speed is comparable between these two, making weapon choice here purely a damage-profile decision rather than a mobility trade-off.
Skill Factor: With stats this close, the deciding factor is player consistency. Recoil management and targeting discipline will have more impact than weapon choice in this matchup.
