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.
Equipped with a combination chevron/crosshair reticle and 3.4x magnification capabilities, the TR's Designated Marksman Optics functions well at many ranges.
A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil by 30%, and increasing hipfire cone of fire by 15%. The added sound pressure causes the player to show on the minimap 35m farther away.
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%.
Increases the weapon's minimum damage from to , while reducing magazine size by .
Ribbons and Medals
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.
