i have both.

my perception of the game may be dated since i haven't played in a while (last time i played was to get the Explosive crossbow)

Similarities: both weapons are in general pretty much 2 shot kill weapons. both are decently balanced and decently similar in game mechanics, stats, etc. even though DLE does not give them the same stats in the bar. if you're buying with the bundle, using the weapons with their respective bundles makes them much better, but again with bundles both weapons are very similar.

differences:

biggest difference is damage output. The Atarot's damage output is much larger than the Silver Wolf. Atarot's damage is near one-shot kill, but it isn't except under certain circumstances. Silver wolf on the other hand is a true two-shot kill weapon, each bullet doing about half health damage.

next biggest difference basically comes from if you're buying the weapons without the bundles. Without the bundles they come with, the Atarot has a way slower reload rate than the Silver wolf, while the Silver Wolf has a way slower fire rate than the Atarot. So choose your poison basically.

Last major difference (imo) is in the mechanics of the weapons regardless of if you get them with or without the bundles. The Atarot is the largest handgun in the game, even larger than some assault weapons. because of this it has a tendency to swerve, and has the feeling of being unwieldy and large. On the other hand, the Silver wolf feels fast and light. However, that doesn't mean that the Silver wolf is perfect mechanically either. It has a very noticeable recoil, which makes it somewhat difficult to line up a second shot. with practice though, both of these can be overcome pretty easily.

There are also other minor differences such as clip size (7-10 in favor of atarot), agility (silver wolf wins slightly) and the fact that Atarot tends to have it's kills stolen, but these imo are minor differences.

Personally, I would go with.... Silver wolf. I like the lightness of it, i like the agility, i like the size of it. If i were to go into a fight, i would hands down choose silver wolf over atarot. not only that, as it has less damage output, i feel as if it is a more "respectable" weapon, given that it does not have the ability to one-shot other players, meaning there's some amount of skill needed to play it. It's also more similar to revolver than Atarot is to revolver so if you play alot of revolvering, Silver wolf will feel more natural to play.
