M1887 is one of the oldest shotguns in Free Fire Max. There was an awe of this gun among the players a year ago before its abilities were reduced. After that, it's quite difficult to take down an enemy with its single shot.

It used to cause very high damage to the enemy, but to maintain balance in the game, Garena reduced the damage and other attributes. Even so, it is still popular in the community.

Hence, the accuracy, damage, and rate of fire of MAG-7 are the major factors that make it a powerful shotgun.

M1014 is a short-range limited shotgun in Free Fire Max. Players need to do dedicated practice to use this shotgun like professionals.

M1014 attributes

  • Damage: 94
  • Rate of fire: 39
  • Range: 10
  • Reload speed: 20
  • Magazine: 6

On the other hand, damage and short-range dominance are two of the strongest factors.


Conclusion

M1887 is best based on damage, range, and armor penetration, MAG-7 is best based on the rate of fire, reload speed, and accuracy, while M1014 is best based on damage and short-range.

All these guns have a unique set of attributes that determine their usefulness according to the situation and the player who is holding the gun. It is a subjective topic whose verdict can differ from person to person.
