Wide vs Normal Shelling(Preference? or is one just better)

[Cyalide]

I know Wide has better better damage scaling, and I also know that wilds has the more simplified weak, normal, strong for shelling power but I never really came across a concrete answer of which does more damage just being told "Use G. Arkveld GL" which... yeah fair highest Raw attack stat means higher shelling damage but I'm mostly here to ask about shell counts.

Multiple moves in the GL moveset unload *all* your shells so if we were to take for example a normal, strong shell type gunlance with double the shells of a wide, strong shell type gunlance would the damage be comparable?

TLDR: Is more shells less damage comparable to Less shells more damage(I'm not a speedrunner lol)

Wide does more damage because right now there isn't a weapon that uses the other types, has good raw and the strong shelling.

It also has 2 LVL 3 slots and its gunlance so the -affinity it has doesn't matter.

Its really just a case of G Lawful Bors is the strongest gunlance. IF the other types had comparable weapons things might not be so set in stone.
