Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shooting Simulator 3D at none against Gun Building 3's 9. Shooting Simulator 3D also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Gun Building 3's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Gun Building 3's written reviews are positive against 75% of Shooting Simulator 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
