R-99 And Volt

People are saying about the R-99 being so powerful and needs to be removed but honesty I'm not feeling the R-99 as much as I did before it was in the care package like it does 11 damage and takes the whole mag to kill just one person and maybe another if your lucky enough for them to have no body shield or so, I mean I'm not saying the R-99 is bad but it's not that powerful as everyone says like I'm thinking the volt is better with it doing 16 damage and able to kill 2 people in a mag or possibly more depending on the body shield or their health and I'm thinking of buffing the R-99 and nerfing the Volt with just the ammo capacity and that's it with R-99 having 20/23/25/28 just adding a extra bullet to the gun if it has a light mag and without the light mag is should stay the same and with the Volt having 18/20/22/25 with the bullet decreasing by 1 and maybe even two because with just 18 bullets and if you were to hit all your body shots (aim bot) you would have 288 damage and I'm shook so yea what do yall think.

    @zombieshoota5000 R-99 and Volt have very similar dps.
    R-99 has slightly higher dps, by like 2. This is because of the R-99’s faster ROF.
    The Volt has a slower ROF, but less recoil and more damage per bullet.
    All in all, both weapons are extremely similar, you probably are just not used to it after it was put in the care package for so long.

    @Sir_Named Exactly the R-99 just doesn't seem that all and even with the slower fire rate the Volt does have a better bullet velocity and even with that it has more damage which does seem better than the R-99 and with the R-99 just missing maybe 3 bullets the enemy could still survive that.

    @zombieshoota5000 The R-99 also has better hip-fire.
    They’re extremely similar, although the R-99 is slightly better for close range and the Volt is slightly better for mid-ish range. Depending on what you want to use it for, one can be slightly better than the other, but both are so close it’s kind of meaningless.

    @Sir_Named Yea I know that but even when the volt is kinda made for mid range it still works for close range of course and all I’m saying is to change the ammo by 1 which I don’t see as a big deal.

    @zombieshoota5000 Sure, they could change the ammo by 1, but it’d be unnecessary.
    The Volt definitely works for close range, I was just saying that it also is slightly better for a mid range.

    @Sir_NamedWell something people really often forget is that the r99 runs out of bullets superfast, wich means you can at max 1clip 1 person but then you have to do a reload, while the volt is still able to keep fighting a little before it has to reload

    All the fanboys dont wanna hear that but the volt is better in 95% of situations

    @matzesingt I guess.
    The Volt might be able to shoot like one or two more bullets. But if you one clip someone, you aren’t going to immediately snap to the next enemy and use the rest of the mag. You’ll probably just reload or something.

    It really doesn’t matter. If you like the Volt better, that’s fine, if you like the R-99, that’s fine, but in terms of stats they are pretty similar. They do have slight differences that make them slightly better at different things, but I wouldn’t go further than that.

    @Sir_Named Might not be able to kill multiple people in one mag but still be able to miss a lot of shots and still be able to kill someone.
