TTK Comparison

When comparing the Kastov LSW vs MK.78 in Warzone, TTK is often the deciding factor. Both weapons trade blows at close range, with near-identical TTK values. At longer distances the advantage flips — the Kastov LSW pulls ahead with a faster damage falloff curve.

Handling and Mobility

Range and Bullet Velocity

Magazine size affects how long you can stay in a fight without reloading. The Kastov LSW carries 100 rounds by default versus 75 for the MK.78. That extra capacity suits more suppressive or squad-wiping roles. Extended mag attachments are available for both and are typically recommended in any meta build.
