Best caliber for every gun

Chamber Chisel (12Ga)

.50 BMG gives the most damage per shot on 49 of 49 guns. The biggest gain is the Bronco 89: .50 BMG raises its damage per shot by 233% over stock 9mm. Blackwater, Dolphin 99, Ferryman, Longboy already use their best caliber. Game version 1.0.6, reviewed .

Every gun

Damage per shot = damage per projectile × projectiles × shells per trigger pull. A chisel changes damage, projectiles, spread and recoil; RPM, magazine and durability stay the same, so sheet DPS rises by the same percentage. Energy Cell guns cannot be chiselled.

Shotguns out of 12Ga

A 12Ga gun fires 8 pellets of 40; .50 BMG fires one 400-damage bullet, so a chiselled shotgun deals 25% more per shot even when every pellet lands. The chisel also changes how oils behave: flat damage is no longer divided by 8. See shotguns and flat damage oils.

Source and method

Caliber rows come from each gun's Chamber Chisel table on the SULFUR Wiki (1.0.6), read by gunBase in src/rules/sulfur/gun.mjs. Ties are broken by lower recoil. How chisels are bought and fitted: attachments and chisels. Chisels combined with oils: highest-DPS build by class.
