TACTICS:
With its massive magazine and longer reload time, doctrine would lend better for use of the weapon has a short range LMG rather than an SMG. Its large magazine allows a longer duration of continuous fire than any other submachine gun. To ensure the safety of the wielder, it is recommended to reload manually whenever an opportunity arises in order to allow the weapon to offer supportive fire as long as possible. The short range makes this role difficult to fulfill this role in larger maps. Consequently, more enclosed spaces where range matters less is where the weapon can be put to its greatest effect.
Recommended gear:
- Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers expedite the reloading process, decreasing the amount of time operators are vulnerable.
- Ammunition Mods improve the weapon's kinetic impact, allowing for more effect per magazine.
- Weapon Cleaning Kits to improve its low accuracy and decrease wasted ordnance.
- Glasses increases its low engagement range, with some variants increasing the operator's ability to acquire and strike targets.
