MAG-7 Free Fire Damage Comparison
Here, we are going to do a damage comparison of the MAG-7 gun in Free Fire vs the M1887, an insanely good shotgun with high range and burst power. We are going to test the damage output of these two weapons in the Training mode on a dummy with a Level 2 helmet and a Level 2 armor in different ranges.
Close Range
In a very close range (1 to 2m), the M1887 completely out damage the MAG-7. The M1887 deals twice more damage than the MAG-7.
The M1887 deal more than 800 damage per second with 2 shots. The 2 shots on the armor cause the dummy to take 180 damage and the armor takes 140 damage. The M1887 will kill a player with 2 shots unless they are really lucky that all the shots hit the armor.
The MAG-7 deals 359 damage per second. After 5 shots, the dummy takes 200 damage and the armor takes 200 damage. We can see that the MAG-7 deal more damage to armor but it doesn't have as much burst power as the M1887.
Mid-Range
In the second test, we stand 5 meters away from the dummy. The MAG-7 still manage to get a stable 350 damage per second while the M887 falls off to 600 damage per second. The M1887 still deals more damage per second but it fails to kill the dummy after 2 shots.
Meanwhile, the MAG-7 still kills the dummy after 5 shots. Even if it didn't, you still have 3 more shots to finish the job. This makes the MAG-7 a better weapon than the M1887 in mid-range combats.
MAG-7 Free Fire Tips, Tricks, And Strategy
The biggest strength of the MAG-7 gun in Free Fire is that it is more versatile than other shotguns. It has average damage but has a better range and accuracy than other shotguns, especially with attachments. This gives the MAG-7 a better chance against SMGs such as MP40 even if you are a little bit far away.
When fighting against the M1887, it is best to fight it from a safe distance rather than a close distance because the M1887 will totally out damage the MAG-7 in close range. However, at 5 meters or farther, the MAG-7 can totally win with its consistency while it is really hard for the M1887 to kill you in 2 shots.
Characters who will be a great pair with the MAG-7 in Free Fire are Caroline, Alok, Chrono, K, and Jota.
It will take some time for the MAG-7 to get some skins in the game so it might a little underwhelm to other weapons with skins. However, this is only a matter of time.
