Deadshot.io VS Real-Life Firearms | Let’s Talk Guns

Updated on March 19, 2025

You know that feeling when you’re locked and loaded in Deadshot.io, adrenaline pumping, eyes locked on your target, and BAM! You’re offing enemies with your assault rifle or sniper like a pro.

And if you’re someone like me, you must be comparing the same firearms in real life as well. And if still not, and you’re curious, lemme disclose everything here.

What are these guns actually like in real life and are they close to Deadshot or not, let’s see…

But first, here are the specs of firearms we use in Deadshot.io.

#	Weapon Type	Range	Ammo	Health	Reload Time
1	SMG	Close	40	100	1.5s
2	AR	Medium	30	100	1.7s
3	Sniper	Long	3	100	2.03s
4	Shotgun	Close	2	100	1.6s

1. SMG | Small, Fast, and Furious (In-Game and IRL)

First up, the SMG (Sub-Machine Gun). In Deadshot.io, you’ve got 40 rounds of pure destruction, with a rapid reload time of just 1.5 seconds. You’re usually bringing this bad boy out in tight spaces, where it’s all about close-range damage. You’re not going to be sniping anyone from across the map with it, but up close? You’re a force to be reckoned with.

Real-Life Model: Heckler & Koch MP5

The MP5 is one of the most iconic submachine guns out there. Chambered in 9mm, it’s a reliable, close-quarters killer used by special forces worldwide. Unlike in Deadshot.io, where the SMG’s reload is lightning fast, in the real world, reload times vary, but the MP5 can still get back into the action quickly with a trained operator. Plus, in the real world, SMGs are definitely less forgiving when it comes to recoil. You’ve got to know how to handle these, or you might end up spraying bullets in every direction (not always a good thing in tight corners.)

2. Assault Rifle | The All-Rounder You Can’t Live Without

Next up, the AR (Assault Rifle). In Deadshot.io, the 30-round clip and 1.7-second reload give you a lot of room to take down foes from a medium range. It’s versatile, just like its real-life models.

Real-Life Model: M4 Carbine

The M4 is basically the gold standard of assault rifles. Known for being highly customizable and reliable, it’s chambered in 5.56mm NATO and serves as the go-to weapon for countless military forces worldwide. It’s got a solid rate of fire, and manageable recoil, and it’s great for medium-range engagements, just like in Deadshot.io. Of course, in the real world, that 1.7-second reload might actually feel like an eternity when you’re in a firefight. In the game? You’re already back in action before you can blink.

3. Sniper | The Long-Distance King (Game and Reality)

Ah, the Sniper. The thrill of taking out enemies from across the map with just 3 rounds in the chamber. And while the reload time is 2.03 seconds, you’re usually getting those long-range kills where precision and patience are key.

Real-Life Model: .338 Lapua Magnum

In both the game and real life, the AWP (Arctic Warfare Police) is one of the most iconic sniper rifles out there. Chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, the AWP is a bolt-action sniper that’s known for its ridiculous stopping power and accuracy at extreme distances. If you’ve used this weapon in Deadshot.io, you’ll feel the resemblance… It’s all about long-range precision and the satisfaction of landing that perfect shot.

But here’s where the difference kicks in: in the game, you can reload in a flash and keep on sniping. In real life? Not so much. The reload and aiming process is far slower, and real-life snipers need to account for factors like wind, bullet drop, and target movement. It’s a lot more about patience and timing in the real world.

4. Shotgun | Close Combat, Pure Power

Finally, let’s talk Shotguns. In Deadshot.io, you’ve got just 2 shots per reload, but those shots are a close-range nightmare for anyone who dares cross your path. At just 1.6 seconds to reload, you’re quick on your feet but don’t expect to take anyone out from a distance. The shotgun’s all about being up close and personal.

Real-Life Model: Remington 870 / Mossberg 500

In the real world, pump-action shotguns like the Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 are legends in the tactical world. These bad boys are reliable, and while the ammo capacity is usually higher than just 2 rounds (most shotguns hold about 5-8 shells), those rounds hit HARD. Real-life shotguns are devastating at close range but require more deliberate handling. You’ve got to pump and reload manually, so no ultra-fast reloads like in Deadshot.io. The firepower is there, but so is the need for precision in close quarters.

Putting It All Together

In Deadshot.io, you’re living that fast-paced, action-packed dream. But in the real world? These firearms are built for precision, power, and tactical advantage, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Whether you’re up close and personal with an SMG or sniper from a mile away, there’s no doubt that Deadshot.io nails the essence of these weapons but speeds things up to fit that arcade vibe. It’s not exactly real life, but it sure feels good when you’re on top of the leaderboard, doesn’t it?

So, next time you pick up an SMG or sniper rifle in-game, think about what it would be like in the real world – Deadshot.io’s guns are a fast, fun version of the real deal. But if you’re ever itching to hold the real thing, just remember, it’ll take more than a 1.5-second reload to master these babies.
