PDW-16 Hailstorm

The  is a submachine gun available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The PDW-16 Hailstorm is a relatively simple side-grade to the SMG-46 Armistice. Sacrificing a large chunk of the Armistice's iconic rate-of-fire for magazine capacity, the Hailstorm is more capable of taking extended engagements than the Armistice, especially considering its reload time is no slower than its brother, however the weapon's damage deficit definitely challenges this strength.

The PDW-16 Hailstorm, alongside the Blitz GD-10 and  Sirius SX12, is part of the so-called 'second generation' of submachine guns, as the three were the second wave of faction-specific weapons to be released in the class.
