Overview

Its apex, SANG Breach, bolts on a single-shot 12-gauge underbarrel chamber that only fires while canted aiming.

Strengths

Quickest close-range (0-10m) Warzone TTK of the four pistols in CODMunity's base numbers (649ms).
MP builds pair good damage with low recoil.
Built out, it is described as controllable, accurate and very light, with more range, fire rate and ammo.

Weaknesses

TTK climbs steadily with distance, so it is really a short-range gun.
Low usage and only C-tier/average rankings; trails the Krait P68 in current pistol rankings.

Source notes

Top-level velocity/adsMs/sprintToFireMs are Warzone base values (CODMunity weapon page and GGRanked Warzone page agree exactly). Class: pistol (official patch notes, Dexerto, Games Atlas 'Handguns', GGRanked) - matches our list. CODMunity/Dexerto write 'SANG 9mm'. Not listed on mw4field. rpm 370 (GGRanked, CODMunity, Games Atlas). Magazine 13 (GGRanked, CODMunity, Games Atlas); reload 2500 (GGRanked, CODMunity). Head multiplier 2 is CODMunity's stats-table value only (low): unlike the other guns in this batch it matches GGRanked's Warzone head/body ratio (78 / 40), not MP (head 60 vs 40, ~1.5). MP damage brackets GGRanked only (0-9 / 10-18 / 19-25 / 26+ m), no Season 1 changes to confirm. GGRanked MP body-part damage: head 60, neck/upper torso 48, lower torso 44, arms/legs 40. GGRanked Warzone body-part damage: head 78, neck/upper torso/arms 60, lower torso/legs 48. Not in CODMunity's MW4 TTK ranking. MP handling (GGRanked): velocity 370 m/s, ADS 170 ms, sprint-to-fire 80 ms. DMZ page matches Warzone damage brackets (head 80 vs 78) but shows MP velocity/ADS. Warzone profile is GGRanked only (low). DMZ profile is from GGRanked's DMZ page only; the page does not show which mode tab its stats block reflects, so treat as unconfirmed DMZ data. DMZ profile health is null: base health 150 is sourced (DMZ Codex) but armor per plate is not.
