I think the EM1 is a good weapon. It does 143 damage before 20m, or before 25m with SPA. 125 before 42m, and 112 after 65m. The vertical recoil isn't "that" low considering higher damage weapons like the EM6, and NC6S Gauss SAW S have compensators. It has a 2.3x first shot multiplier on top of that. I don't find a 2x sight all that worthy for this reason. It's cone of fire isn't typical of HC. So this weapon reads close-medium range with good horizontal recoil, which is typical of the NC. It's horizontal tolerance isn't great, which means you have to be mindful of the weapon's potential to wonder around while firing.

To make the most out of this weapon, you are going to use a combination of controllability and sustainability. It may not have the fire-rate of bullet-hose weapons, but it will usually have better accuracy. It fires slow, so you can hold the trigger a little longer than usual. The emphasis of this weapon is the 30m range, with the ability to reach out to 41m. You can shoot at targets well beyond that. If you catch the enemy before 25 meters, you can have a significant advantage with the max damage range and SPA firing 659 RPMs.

The EM6 is the polar opposite of the EM1. Where the EM1 has it's range of damage geared for closer ranges, the EM6 has it's range of damage geared for longer ranges. EM6 does 143 damage before 57 meters with HVA.
