Defence Factor
The Defense Factor is calculated as a derivative sum of the previous four factors. First, each gun's factors are normalized to a percentage value where the highest value of all guns is 100% and the lowest value of all guns is 1%. Once equalized to a percentage they are weighted by an importance scale and summed together: Defense Factor = (Power% * 0.6) + (Capacity% * 0.4) + ((100% - Conceal%) * 0.3) - (Recoil% * 0.3)
Of course, ultimately you want a higher Defense Factor.
