Overall the middle child of the new SMG's right now. Its not as good as the god like VS Canis, but it is definetly better then the TR jackal in basically every situation.

While this thing does way more per shot damage then usual for an SMG, to the point where its basically a carbine, its fire rate is definetly on the worse end. This low firerate may sound like a bad thing, but given that it helps with accuracy on an already fast killing weapon, the low firerate can actually be argued as a benefit more then anything.

When talking about the unique attachments, its best to discuss them together. This is the only weapon where the hybrid suppressor is actually viable, and the reason why is because of the SPRW ammunition. Since SPRW ammunition completely removes the massive velocity penalty associated with the hybrid suppressor, this weapon is by far, the best suppressed SMG in the game.

Even without the hybrid suppressor, SPRW ammo is really good. 600m/s bullet velocity is comparable to that of most bolt action snipers, granting this weapon an unmatched level of ranged power for an SMG.

Not to mention that its got the longest effective SMG range in game as well.

TLDR: if you want a stealth SMG or an all class carbine, this is your best friend, no exceptions.
