Spread is the cone of fire — lower is tighter, and aiming down sights tightens it. Falloff is where damage starts dropping toward the long-range figure; both are in Unreal units. You can carry 102 spare rounds.
Shots to eliminate
| Target | Shots | Time | Within one magazine |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 HP | 5 | 0.44s | Yes |
| 100 HP + 50 shield | 7 | 0.66s | Yes |
| Full (100 + 100) | 10 | 0.99s | Yes |
Body shots with the Legendary version, every shot connecting. Time runs from the first shot landing to the last, so a one-shot elimination is 0.00s. A full magazine delivers 572 damage. Headshot figures are left out on purpose: Fortnite's headshot multiplier varies per weapon and isn't in the data, so any number here would be a guess.
