Winchester Model 1887 Shotgun

Winchester Model 1887 Shotgun
Shotgun ★★★★★ Usable

Aka M1887. She's a shotgun, so she will do shotgun things shotgun-y (read: facetank with her armour), but is not particularly impressive at it. Her stats are okay (but worse than most other 5* shotguns), her tile buffs are the weakest of all 5* shotties (and most 4*!)… and her skill is downright useless, because it has a ridiculously long 15 second cooldown and if you can use it appropriately, well shotguns aren't what you want to use for that fight.

As far as free SGs are concerned, a minor upgrade over 97S if you don't consider 97s's mod.

Heckler & Koch MG4

Heckler & Koch MG4
Machine Gun ★★★★★ Garbage until modded

The "IM READY!" but Never ready meme girl. Well, until she gets a mod, then she's ready. But for her base version? She sucks.

Basically she is outperformed by even 2 star MGs.

KSVK Mod

KSVK Mod
Rifle ★★★★★ As good as a specialist as she was awful pre-mod (So, actually pretty good!)

Thanks Mica, for actually buffing someone with cool art for once.

In her pre-mod state, she's dire, not really worth using, and honestly a waste of really REALLY nice art (including porn by her original artist). With her mod, she has ridiculously high stats and a powerful skill at Mod 2. The big issue is she needs setup, and can't really be used on her own, but that's pretty much every funny specialist rifle anyway, so it's not really a downside.

What makes her stupidly good is that you get more damage if you have more debuffs from other sources, so go nuts.

She'll come in handy for Dual Randomness.

Her previous form is found here.

Hawk Industries Type-97

Hawk Industries Type-97
Shotgun ★★★★ Usable

CAPTAIN CHINNNAAAAA! Surprisingly good for a free unit. Has the lowest armor among the shotguns (tied with Super Shorty), but she will get you started considering how easy it is to get her. Aura optimized for 1SG/1HG/3MG setups, and works well with Mk23 and M2HB (which are both given for free to new players too). Has a very tiny 3-shot magazine compared to the usual 4 most SGs get which limits her firepower somewhat, but her skill offsets this a bit. A flawed unit and not a first pick for many lineups, but most SGs are interchangeable as far as front-row tanks go anyway, even if she's not as good at it as the other ones you'll get eventually. Her main merits are a decent aura shape and being free.

She does have a mod which...kinda makes her better? Will add that article soon...probably.

Ithaca M37 Featherlight

Ithaca M37 Featherlight
Shotgun ★★★★ Usable

Called "The Northern Hemispheres" for fairly obvious reasons. Somehow, someone decided "Featherlight" clearly means "biggest tits on a t-doll possible." Her skill lets her do a bit of damage except you dont care about that sort of thing on a shotgun and its not like the skill has time to trigger on a typical fight (most SGs dont get to use their skills anyway). Still, well... she's a shotgun with 22 base armour. This puts her ahead of the lower end shotties like supershorty.

Franchi SPAS-12

Franchi SPAS-12
Shotgun ★★★★ Usable

The Queen of Gluttons, and reason you lock up your ration storage. If you get -MRE tiles on random nodes, don't believe the fake news, its just a cover for her breaking into your food stores. No seriously, all her damned lines are related to food, EVEN HER OATH LINE.

Actually has a really nice skill but has fairly average stats. Her skill doesn't work with slugs, only further highlighting how shit slugs are. Her defenses are actually not as good as some of the others, but she has good offensive stats (for a shotgun). Basically a direct upgrade to unmodded Type-97.

Benelli M1014 / M4 Super 90

Benelli M1014 / M4 Super 90
Shotgun ★★★★ Okay-ish

A Heavy Cruiser from Kantai collection that got lost somewhere.

Not a superlative shotgun, but has a decent aura for 2SG formations where she wants to be in the 3 position, because 20% firepower is nice if you absolutely need a second shotgun and have no room for an HG. Her skill would be better if it didn't have such a godawful startup time. Like SPAS, her armour is not exceptional.

Rheinmetall MG3

Rheinmetall MG3
Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

Funny to look at if she has her unique equip, but without her mod, she's worse than LWMMG with or without it.

United States Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60, Garbage

United States Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60, Garbage
Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

At day, she's worse than LWMMG. At night, she worse than LWMMG on her first magazine. On fights that want more than one mag, well, if you're that far into the game you likely have better options. Like Lewis Gun. Which you can get from clearing an event map. So....yeah.

In protracted fights that need exactly two magazines, at night, against armoured enemies, she can shine, if her skill is maxed out… we'll let you know if such a fight will ever happen.

AEK-999 Barsuk

Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

If your name is deathalice, she is the best and most wonderful t-doll ever. Especially with her bike riding skin.

If you are similar to deathalice, she is the best and most wonderful t-doll ever. Especially with her bike riding skin.

Well, maybe not anymore, since even deathalice has seemingly forgotten her. Isn't that sad?

If you are worried about performance, she is godawful and somehow took one of the better MG skills (Hunting Impulse) and produced a shittier version with an 8s startup (missing the point of having HI) that only works well at night.

CETME Ameli

CETME Ameli
Machine Gun ★★★★ Core fodder

A Christmas tree! Will be her primary job at your base probably. Suffers from the curse of an MG that lacks a passive, a first burst-active like hunting impulse, or usefulness during the day. She has a unique that makes her better than base MG4, which is... not saying much. Unfortunately that unique is also no longer available.

Mod MG4 has some uses now so uhh....goodbye Ameli. Merry Christmas, you're a tree.

Type 80 GPMG

Type 80 GPMG
Machine Gun ★★★★ Core Fodder

The PLA didn't want to have her, and neither should you.

She has a mod now that moves her from largely useless to merely use impaired.

KSVK

KSVK
Rifle ★★★★ Good eventually. Currently awful.

Mr. God Jackstar, the Unfathomable Abyss, the Dancing Stardust of Sagittarius, the Blazing Inferno of the Frozen Hell, Second Principal Leader of the Incomplete Brigade...but she sucks. When she gets a mod, she will deliver outstanding performance for specialist rifle roles.

Right now she sucks so hard she has an event horizon.

Her mod is found here

Mauser C96 Mod

Mauser C96 Mod
Handgun ★★★★ …Her art is nice I guess?

She still doesn't solve any of the previous issues you wished she did, and she tries to solve a problem no one actually has.

The only situation she'd be useful for is with Hunting Impulse MGs, except in most cases she isn't as big a DPS boost as other handguns that don't actually require a mod.

She has some theoretical niche cases where she might work, but you would need to go out of your way to find them.

Base version sucks even more.

Mauser C96

Mauser C96
Handgun ★★★ Core fodder

Some may claim her skill is useful (It pretends to be), except it applies after the penalty (and really, its' multiplication and isn't on the same modifier so its autoshit either way), so 100% - 90% = 10% x 2 = 20%! Congratulations, you've wasted 600 basic data, 1020 intermediate data, and 500 advanced data for less benefit than a 2* PEQ.

Has a mod, but doesn't get much better.
