Actually good for the same reason WA-2000 and M14 are. Sheer RoF with decent damage. The only 4 star rifle worth using by default who does not require you to jump through hoops to even matter.

A high RoF Rifle with good stats. Probably the best one for general use. If you've noticed by now, high RoF rifles are kind of good. Actually caps RoF if paired with Calico, allowing you use other damage boosters instead. With the October 2018 patch, RoF cap is higher, and Calico alone is no longer enough.

Like SVD but with +Acc and lower +RoF. Really wants to be used in the 7 position. You might find a use if you still lack either SVD or WA2000 or if you really hate high EVA targets.

This goes in particular for gundams, who have armour and evasion, at night. Grape, M200 or even Kar98k are vastly preferred, but T5000 is much easier to get, so YMMV.

Does not go ping. Not to be confused with the M1 Garand.

She's a RoF rifle, but her stats are even worse than the only borderline useful G43's. Don't bother.

Or SKS for short. Self-buffs RoF, but with too weak stats. Between G43 and M14 you have enough good low-rarity rifles to keep you supplied while you work on better ones.

Very solid 3 star that is actually better than most of the 4 star RFs (SVD, G28 and occassionally T5000 can outperform her, but she'll handily trounce most of the rest.)

You get her for free and she's amazing, due to very fast base RoF for a rifle. Less good now as the better RFs come along, but will last into the higher chapters easily. Now has her mod available.

Madam Lee, The Empress, and a whole bunch of other names because she's popular with CN server. The gun that armed the British Empire through both world wars. High damage per shot, decent RoF. Has somewhat more issues with swarms than WA2000 and the other RoF-centric rifles, but will out damage them per shot and benefits greatly from RoF boost from accompanying HGs. Compared to Wa-chan, best for roles with smaller numbers of higher HP enemies.

Unfortunately for her, M14 exists and fills the same niche, but better and cheaper. And doubly unfortunately for her, M14 also has a mod that keeps her still decent.

Aka M110A1. The military variant of the HK MR308, which is the civilian variant of the HK417, and not parts compatible with either, and needs special 7.62 NATO ammunition, because regular is too mainstream. Thanks a lot, HK.

…ingame, she's a DMG-buffing rifle like Lee-Enfield and M14, with stats somewhere between the two. Harder to get than M14, easier to get than Lee, that's perfectly reasonable and you can put her in a hydra bullying echelon with either.

However, with the multitude of rifles available now, she's definitely outclassed by a lot of them, most notably FN-49 mod and M14 mod. Raise her if you want, since she's not bad but it's a questionable investment with so many other options.

FN49 for short. Has a mod that turns her into a more powerful FP-buffing rifle than baseline Lee. Until then, she's okay-ish for a free unit to pair with M14, but has plenty of better alternatives available.

Time has not been kind to MADCORE's waifu. Lots of demerits for what was once super high end performance, the proliferation of newer rifles that can handle similar jobs for lower requirements has made her much less appealing than she once was.

Aka M1891/Strawberrycano.

The rifle you'd expect from the nation that fought 12 battles on the same spot in a row only to lose them all, and then went on to lose mountaineers to frostbite two years in a row in summer. Just look at that smug grin. "Tehee, guess we lost to Ethiopians again!"

…ingame, she has a weird skill that buffs dolls in her column slightly, which will later feature in a few specialized formations that include Python and is sometimes used to buff M82, Kar98k, or her sister, to the point she's been called "Python's Exclusive Equipment" and "Grape's Exclusive Equipment." There's a couple of other niche uses as well (M200), but mostly, she looks like she needs to be supervised outdoors.

The EN timed exclusive T-doll! AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM!

She's somewhat similar to IWS conceptionally, but due to how her rate of fire works (or rather doesn't), and her guaranteed hits (she ignores evasion/accuracy), she's used in different situations…

M200 is excellent against evasive armoured enemies at night, which are a royal pain in the ass to deal with otherwise. It's possible without M200, by stacking up enough buffs, but M200 just 360 MLG noscope headshots them, which is obviously superior. Unlike IWS, she manages to maintain relevance in current year. Turns out ignoring evade is quite strong.

Another piece of Jarv bait. Kind of. Also a vegetarian who dislikes the smell of meat... which of course other servers produced fanart of that has... interesting explanations that involve "does not love the spell of napalm in the morning.".

Statwise, the FP-buffing counterpart to T-5000; stats wise she's mostly between G28 and Lee-Enfield, and so a reasonable alternative for either if you need another another FP selfbuffer for some reason. Like T-5000, she had fairly meh ratings on other servers since while you basically had other options and she kinda isn't as good as Lee Enfield during AND is more expensive an option than G28. Her schtick is done way better by M200 and newer rifles can just straight out muscle her even in her niche.

A swiss straight pull bolt action that SOMEHOW apparently fires faster than Semiautomatic rifles (She literally shoots faster than WA2000). That joke about the swiss replying to the Germans that if half a million of them invaded, the quarter million strong militia would shoot twice and go home? Someone sure took it to heart.

The downside of course is she debuffs her own accuracy when she does. This is not a problem during the day, and usually isn't a problem vs armored enemies, but it does become problematic when enemies at night start having dodge scores even while armoured, making her less good at those sorts of targets. In broad daylight though, go nuts.

Also a lot of artists seem to give her yandere qualities for whatever reason. Probably the knife.
