Lets see...

Damage

Recoil
RoF
Handling

Damage, accuracy, recoil and RoF are pretty obvious, but what the hell is handling?
As far as I understood, it is how fast you start shooting after sprinting.

Can someone explain this? It would be very apreciated.

As recoil my mean the kick of the gun i may assume the handling is the overall ability to for instance aim down sight faster switch weapons faster but probably what i really means is the ability to keep gun on target while firing full auto. Just a theory i don't know for sure =3 hope it helps a little

Handling = how fast you bring your gun up and how fast you aim down sights.

From what I've been able to gather, though this is speculation: Aside from what has been already stated in replies to the thread,

I believe that handling also affects way your gun reacts to you turning when you're aiming down sights. I feel that pistols and smgs with better handling (metaphorically) lag behind your cursor less, allowing for faster turning and aim adjusting, ect. I am yet to test this yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if it worked that way, and if it doesn't, I'm going to encourage that it does.

It also effects how fast your gun is ready out of sprint and all those little timed things regarding when you can shoot while doing something else.
