<p class="callout success"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**PROS:**</span>  
- High Knockback  
- Very Accurate  
- Reloads Quickly</p>

<p class="callout danger"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**CONS:**</span>  
- Short Effective Range  
- Low Capacity  
- High Ammo Cost</p>

<p class="callout warning"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**TACTICS:**</span>  
<span class="mw-headline">This weapon's extremely high accuracy means very few of its high damage bullets will be wasted, and it can put out quite a lot thanks to its high attack speed and large magazine, allowing it to efficiently take out any zombies within its admittedly short effective range.</span>***<span class="mw-headline"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">  
Recommended gear:  
</span></span>***- Ammunition Mods increase its damage, allowing it to bring down zombies more quickly and efficiently.  
- Extended Mags allow it to fire off even more of its high-powered rounds before needing to reload, reducing the chance that a zombie makes it to its wielder.  
- Glasses compensate for its short range, allowing its wielder to more effectively engage zombies from further away.  
- Bandoliers reduce the time needed to reload, allowing the wielder to be less vulnerable.</p>
