1gg shot is NOT AT ALL equal to one hammer. Heres why... -Golden gun has lots of aim assist(most in the game for a gun although it's debatable weather to call it an actual gun) -Instant bullet travel (aka where you shoot is exactly where the bullet goes) -You have perks that make kills explode, over penetrate, etc. -On top of that the gunslinger class in general has perks like.. A ranged melee attack, gunslingers trance, chain of woe, etc to help out your neutral game while sunbreaker has NO perks like this. -Hammer of sol has up to 7 hammers with forge master (and you have to rapidly throw them no running around in between) so realistically you throw about 4-5 hammers. -With the sun spot perk you throw even less. -You get health regen(which blade dancer has) OR overshield in a sunspot, not both.
