NSX Naginata

The NSX Naginata is a light machine gun produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Nanite Systems Export Naginata is a relatively tame light machine gun with two unique factors; it has a maximum damage of 150, higher than the typical 143, and the weapon's cone-of-fire is capped whenever the user is stood still. Though the Naginata may deal less damage-per-second than a fair number of its contemporaries, this makes the gun surprisingly accurate even through large bursts.

While the user is stood still, the weapon's cone-of-fire is capped at 0.6 degrees, with it capping even lower at 0.4 degrees while the user is crouched. This benefit can be retroactively applied mid-burst, meaning the user can stand still after the weapon's cone-of-fire exceeds 0.6 degrees to instantly bring the cone-of-fire back down to that
