Yuri’s I AMMO OPEN

= 2,400 (14 shots; 1R on 6th step, & 1QR on 12th step)
= 2,320 (14 shots; 1R on 5th step, & 1QR on 11th step)
= 2,300 (14 shots; 1R on 5th step, & 1QR on 11th step)
= 2,240 (14 shots; 1R on 5th step, & 1QR on 11th step)

2,480/2,400 = 1.033 or 3.333% potency gain
2,480/2,240 = 1.107 or 10.714% potency gain

It’s noteworthy that Cascadi’s opener waits between 2.5 – 5.0s & 5.0 – 7.5s longer to Reload & Quick Reload, respectfully. To crunch the potency difference of such a change is beyond me at the moment (though, it certainly results in some sort of negative impact by the time the next Reload rolls around)... so is the probability equation between Yuri's possible outcomes.

Then, you’d have to consider the different possible critical values… these two methods will have to be parsed. It’s also worth noting that Yuri’s ‘worst case’ scenarios are ahead in rotation at step 16. I’d be curious to see what we’re left with after 32 steps in both methods.

H = Hot Shot (120)
L = Lead Shot (40)
_ = ‘Wasted’ Ammo or Proc
