NSX Naginata
The Naginata light machine gun can maintain rounds on medium ranged targets without releasing the trigger, but quickly loses that benefit while moving.

The Naginata has special Cone of Fire mechanics that allow it to remain more accurate over sustained fire versus other LMGs. While stationary, the Naginata has a maximum CoF of 0.6, and while crouching and still, 0.4. In practical terms, the Naginata will only bloom (become less accurate) for the first 8 shots while standing and stationary, and the first 5 shots while crouching and stationary. Then the CoF "locks" and will not grow any larger. For comparison, a CoF of 0.6 is slightly smaller than the NS-7 PDW's hipfire CoF while using a laser sight (0.66).
A valuable benefit to this mechanic is that by briefly standing still, you can reset your CoF to 0.6. So you can shoot and strafe for the first 8 shots, stand still, let the CoF reset, and keep shooting. It wont be accurate enough at long range, but for engagements within 20m 0.6 is enough to land consistent headshots.
Many soldiers choose Nanite Systems' popular illuminated Combat Optic series over stock iron sights for superior target acquisition in both close quarters and low-light situations. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.
Nanite Systems launched the NiSGO gun optic much to the delight of designated marksmen across Auraxis. The NiSGO utilize a triple chevron reticule with 3.4x magnification.
Nanite Systems' laser-assisted gunsight is perfect for situations that need a little more range than a standard reflex scope. The LANS uses a simple red dot reticule with 3.4x magnification.
For marksmen that prefer to not put themselves directly in the fray, the Nanite Systems Quadra scope allows users distance between themselves and their intended targets. The Quadra comes equipped with a simple crosshair at 4x magnification.
Nanite Systems' Tetra scope gives its users a significant advantage at target acquisition at mid to long ranges thanks to its triple chevron reticule and 4x magnification.
The weapon's muzzle flash and noise generation is reduced, and the player no longer appears on the minimap when firing. In exchange, the weapon's damage falls off 20 meters sooner, and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%.
A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil. The increased sound pressure will cause the player to show on the minimap from farther away, and increased weapon bulk reduces accuracy when firing from the hip.
High Velocity Ammunition increases the weapon's projectile velocity by 10% and minimum damage range by 20 meters, but reduces the weapon's maximum damage range by 2 meters.
It is possible to get both Ribbons and Medals for using the NSX Naginata. Each Ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the NSX Naginata. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the NSX Naginata.
Dev Note: The adjustment to vertical recoil here increases accuracy of both first shot and sustained fire, and makes the recoil easier to compensate for.
