The problem with the Canis is that it is the same damage and accuracy of an SMG with no real benefit over other VS SMGs. Sure, unstable ammo makes you more accurate but accuracy only goes so far when your headshot multiplier is severely low. Unstable ammo is not a real benefit given the handicap of the damage model and horizontal recoil. Unstable ammo performs best at longer ranges where the accuracy starts to overtake the competitiveness out of other weapons with lacking accuracy.

This SMG needs to serious revamp. The minimum damage range is too short to use at longer ranges offering uncompetitive damage per second nor is it accurate enough to use headshots to make up for it. It is basically the same as the Jackal and Cyclone while not having the accuracy and starting fire-rate of those SMGs.

At close quarters, the spin-up mechanic is just too slow to achieve maximum fire-rate. The Eridani is just so much better.

I don't recommend it.
