◢ THE READ
The best SMG loadout in Wardogs right now is the Super-45. It posts the fastest measured time-to-kill of any SMG in the game -- about 229.4ms on a balanced profile, 189ms clear of the AMP-9, the next-fastest.
That order comes from scoring 4 SMGs on measured time-to-kill from community ballistics testing -- not on feel, and not on a spec sheet. Every number traces back to the same attributed data set, so the whole board is comparable like-for-like.
◢ THE CATCH
Time-to-kill measures raw killing speed at the trigger. It does not weigh reload time, effective range, recoil control, or handling -- a rifle that wins on paper can still lose a fight it cannot keep on target. These figures are attributed to Swoleguy’s testing, not yet Bulkhead-official. This board ranks the class by time-to-kill; to solve within a cash budget (gun + ammo, community-recorded prices), use the Loadout Finder.
