The other shotgun besides KSG that has +Armor skills. Has higher HP and really good armor, but has an offtank aura meant for 2-shotgun formations which means you'll either need to move her every fight or have another shotgun. The aura effect is less flexible than a firepower buff, but potentially useful buff to a lot of MGs like M2HB or PK who could really use an acc boost. Regardless, If the primary consideration is just sheer defensive power, she makes an excellent pick.

Has the highest armor ratings among shotguns in the game, but has low firepower and lower-than-normal (for a shotgun) HP. With her skill, equipment and some buffs, can easily hit 60 armor rating, letting her take a stream of 1s from bosses that would do 5 or so damage to other, lesser armored shotties. Unfortunately the lower HP means she's slightly weaker vs enemies where all SGs take only 1 anyway (not significant as those will mostly be mooks), but she'll be one you want for the highest firepower enemies.

Mod isn't worth it either, but has its own entry.

4-6 and 4-4E exclusive drop. Despite being an improved version of M14, is actually shittier than M14 in every way. Not to be mistaken for Zas M21, who is actually more useful. +9 firepower from her exclusive doesn't change her up much either.

Remember the old Bren v Spandau debacle? The real answer is "They both suck here, get a real MG."

Her mod doesn't save her either, for more info look at her mod article.

Also known as the FN Minimi or M249SAW. Stats are mediocre and her skill frankly sucks. Only comes as a drop from 5-6 or 5-4E, so more of a trophy for completionists who collect rarer t-dolls than an actually good unit.

In another setting, another game, she might have been the plucky, determined, hard working cinnamon roll heroine. This is not that game.

Her mod can be found here

An alright firebomber if you don't have Vector, but you won't get a shitton of free copies of her like you do with Skorpion. Slightly but not significantly better than Skorpion at actual firebombing, but has a much much shittier aura. Bullied by a lot of artists for being retarded.

Her mod makes her a lot better, rivaling if not surpassing Vector. Look at that article for more info.

See the icon? Thats all.

Has the skill that makes M2HB so good (but with better numbers!), but with a little less attack in exchange for a non-garbage Accuracy score and having 16 max rounds (instead of 15) with a maxed gold ammo box, making her really good. Probably the best general purpose MG right now.

A weird hybrid tank that... doesn't have a great base evade, but has a fairly powerful self-evade buff with very high uptime. Usable when fight drags on for some reason.

The Chicago typewriter, the classic mobster gun (ignoring the fact mobsters actually used M1918 BARs most of the time for actual hits), and TaneRisa-chan proving that even as a gun, she protects us. Highest HP among SMGs but conversely has abysmal evade. Has a very good invul skill though, and is a solid tank overall, though she'll need a lot of repairs after every mission.

Younger sister of the Ultimate Maid, G36. Classed as an SMG for balance reasons, she's a fairly good tank with alright dodge, very high HP pool, and with an invul skill. A very good all-around tank with better buff tiles than Thompson. As far as general use shield tanks go (like say, dealing with dragoons later), she's actually pretty alright, but some future enemies will make Thompson's HP matter a bit more.

AKA Shrimp

A very strong direct damage SMG that badly needs an ACOG sight to boost her acc above the standard abysmal rating that SMGs normally get. She's basically an AR that can take the front row rather than an actual tank, since her idea of tanking is "If enemies are dead, I don't have to dodge right?" Very good for raw firepower type SMG/AR echelons, not so good if the fight(s) drag on and she takes damage.

If you have enough acc boost (which will need fairies, unless you're up against 0 evasion armoured enemies), you can use a critscope too, which makes her even dumber. Warning though that she relies VERY HEAVILY on gear, so be prepared to shell out for sweet sweet +10 Max Calib Bling Gear to truly make her shine. Also trips lolicon radars and may land you in jail.

The flame witch that destroys all with atomic molotovs. Between a 7x damage explosion and 15x more over 5s as a DoT, she's an acceptable tank but does best as an off-tank and dealing damage. Ideal for clearing scouts and other high-dodge targets in night battles, or eradicating swarms. Pump up her raw damage stat and watch the fun. Not great for direct fire, but the molotov is that strong when leveled. Pairs well with HK416 or G11 for the damage boost.
