your choice pistol 9mm: 13 rounds 40 damage or 15 rounds 38 damage

Which one?

If you can't decide, the decision won't matter. Just pick either, the time wasted trying to choose right is never coming back...

2 answers to that:

 

1. Use it to body shot a zombie, and see if the higher damage one kills it using fewer bullets. If not, just take the one with a higher clip size. There are just way too many variables for anyone to really advise you on that without testing. Which perks you've taken, which bullets you've loaded, game stage, how often you headshot, etc. 

 

2. Stop stressing so much and just enjoy the game. As far as I know, there's no professional 7D2D eSports you're min/maxing for.

15 rounds 38 damage.

 

For a loss of 4 damage, you can output 76 damage with those 2 extra bullets. It really doesn't matter THAT much. You'll get a better gun eventually. Especially if you run quests and keep your lucky looter the best you can.

simple. higher damage. it could mean the difference between  having to use 2 or 3 bullets to drop them. even if it is 3 or 4 bullets, that drops them 25% faster, or 25% less bullets. yes more reloads but i find normally i only get in real trouble if i sm dumb and forget to reload straight away. i play pistols a lot and love it when your perks get to the point where it goes from 3 body shots to 2 for lesser zds to kill them. quick double tap with the second one killing them mid air lol.

Is there a quality level difference as well? For example if the 13 rounder is Q2 and the 15 is Q3 then tossing just about any mod into the slot gained by the increase in quality level covers the per shot damage difference plus adds a bit extra.

The quality level is the same.

More ammo in the clip is better than 2 damage imo, especially with perks/books and chance of dismemberment/crits/knockdowns

^^^ This.

This should be turned into a poll: "Did you agree with @NukemDed AND @Jugginator? Yes/No"

 

I did. And I kinda still do. Which is why this is sorta weird ..

All things considered, I'd go with more rounds in the magazine verses an extra 2HP per round.

This, I'd go for the one with 2 lower damage but higher mag size, as it'd have overall higher dps. That 2 damage would matter more late game for headshots with high perks. Early/mid game? Mag size is better generally. Least from my experience it feels this way. AT high levels with high perks that 2 damage could result in less bullets used, then again you got to consider, what if yer cornered? if so, those 2 extra rounds could be the diff between life or death. As a reload when cornered can be deadly.

15 rounds.

No such issue as too much ammo, but a ton of issues with too little.

 

[LordCorellon]

Make it interesting at least.

2 points of damage is meaningless.

Learn to headshot, and its moot anyways.
