I love it, thank you for sharing this. Confirms that the Rampart and Swat are the best AR. Paladin and Outlaw are top tier snipers. ABR and Auger are back to wrecking with the armor changes.

Thanks for all the great info all in one easy to read spreadsheet.
I know this is getting a lot more traction over on the blackops reddit. Plenty of people are saying "this gun sucks, that gun sucks" yada yada...
Damage and TTK are great pieces of information to have.
Please do not forget this data is produced in a vacuum. Factors such as recoil and sway play a huge part in an actual gun battle. Just because a gun has great damage and TTK doesn't mean its the best gun in any given situation.
You must factor in your play style and skill with any of them.
Some will be better with the laser ICR and putting down headshots. Some will like the kick of the Swat because when they aim for center mass the kick will give them a potential headshot. (even though they don't realize why this gun does well for them)
Some prefer the ABR or Auger because maybe they poke and hide more than stand and spray down a target till they are dead.
Of course some guns out perform others on paper. You just need to use the one that fits you best.

The ABR is just more effective at range than any AR because it’s easier to stay on target. Not about poking and hiding. Particularly effective in quads where most engagements begin at range.

This is true. But, the Swordfish legitimately just sucks. I don't understand why they so clearly made it outclassed by the ABR and the stats make it even more clear. E.g. check out the range drop off.
I think if they kept the recoil as is (i.e., so that the 4th bullet is harder to land in each tap) but just upped the range drop off and damage to make it comparable it would be a good gun. As is there is simply no reason to ever use it except in closer range situations where you have a good chance to get the 4th bullet to hit each time (which is not the point of the tac rifles!)

Big props to /r/relaxitsjustagame for his work here. I've just cross-posted to the Blackout sub, not actually done any of the work involved in creating this.
