United States Gun, Machine, Caliber .30, Browning, M1919A4

United States Gun, Machine, Caliber .30, Browning, M1919A4
Machine Gun ★★★ Good

She's basically LWMMG, except a 3 star and slightly more annoying to build up. She's like seriously, not even a performance benefit. Their stats are almost identical and they have the same number of shots so you... might as well just raise LWMMG, but LWMMG gets a mod later. But well, LWMMG is good so she kinda is too I guess. If youre a noduper she's another usable MG for you, since there's a shortage of those.

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.

NTW-20

NTW-20
Rifle ★★★★★ Niche uses

Premod, TAC-50 does her job but better. So if you're hurting on 6* mod material cause of all your Calico mods, ignore her until you can afford that. After mod...well look at her mod article.

QBZ Type 97

QBZ Type 97
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Not really used anymore

Civilian version of a gun even the Chinese Army realized was a bad idea. Used to have a niche use for battles that needed fast skills due to her low initial cooldown, excellent uptime, and unique equip, putting her in a good spot as a second-string AR. Unfortunately, there are now lots of good ARs, and the existence of chips has improved a lot of other ARs while she got left behind.

QBZ Type 95

QBZ Type 95
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Usable

Kishiyo face, and a silly source of drama, because he had a bitchfest over her VA not being someone super famous. With her unique gear, she can actually beat G41 in the first eight seconds of a fight, or if a fight lasts longer than 20 seconds. Unlike her sister, she can actually use chips so she's vaguely usable. Still just a second-string AR though.

Heckler & Koch G41

Heckler & Koch G41
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Good

Kind of fetishized and sort of jailbait, but the standard by which most day battle ARs are judged by, and thus literally average. She's pretty much pure vanilla and a decent direct fire AR. Worse than G11, but still decent. Potentially usable with SR-3 if you need to. Pretty much the core of many second string teams.

While her equipment from CT ranking makes her better, it doesn't make her stand out too much more compared to the many high end ARs we have now. Still ok to use though!

Heckler & Koch HK416

Heckler & Koch HK416
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Usable

Has daddy issues with M16 and the grump of Squad 404. Also the most common 5* AR statistically and hailed by China and Korea as the 5* AR that you can 5x link without cores!

Her mod article can be found here

FN Herstal FAL

FN Herstal FAL
Assault Rifle ★★★★★ Ex-Grenade Star. Not used anymore

The Right Arm of the Free World

There was a time she was good. That time was before we got grenadiers that shot as fast as she does. She does fire three grenades though, although they are weaker than everyone else's. Has the odd use here and there, but time and powercreep have not been kind to her.

Calico M950A

Calico M950A
Handgun ★★★★★ Recommended

Very good benefits for night battle albeit on a slightly odd shaped aura, but easily workable still. Paired with guns that need a lot of RoF boost like Lee-Enfield a lot. Also allows WA2k to max out her RoF immediately through just their 2 buffs + formation bufftiles. Though largely pointless for MGs, she enables 1 of the most stupidly powerful formations in the game, the IWS-DPS squad.

GREEN IS THE DANG—

She now has a mod, which can be viewed here

Welrod MkII

Welrod MkII
Handgun ★★★★★ Recommended

MANNERS MAKETH MAN. Very good aura for DPS, and very widely used. As a bonus, she has a very good skill for tanking, and can actually be used as a tank for bamboo spear formations or helping other tanks. She has 40% base crit unlike other handguns (a trait shared with other single-shot pistols like Contender and Thunder .50.) so a suppressor is actually pretty beneficial on her, not that you have other much choice in the matter. But yes, you will be finding use for her. Note that her -acc skill does stack MULTIPLICATIVELY with Makarov.

LAR Grizzly MkV

LAR Grizzly MkV
Handgun ★★★★★ Recommended

Good overall damage buffer with bonus evade for the tank. Usable in lots of formations, and a component of bamboo spear teams.

FN Herstal Five-seveN

FN Herstal Five-seveN
Handgun ★★★★★ Recommended

Decent Aura shape with very good benefits. 30% RoF/20% Crit is nothing to sneeze at, and even more from her skill. Used heavily in teams that benefit from RoF/Crit boosts (mostly general use Rifles). Be thankful EN got her with little effort. Also has a 97 dodge, if you need something to temporarily take the front. Also, the source of a lot of Korean memes because she was a total pain to get. Also wears a ferret costume sometimes.

PK Light Machine Gun

PK Light Machine Gun
Machine Gun ★★★★ Recommended

Has the same skill as M2HB (but with slightly better numbers) on a 4 star platform and farmable (in theory) from 0-2. Has a less shitty acc stat (but not by by much so you'll still want a +ACC item) but more importantly she has a 11 base ammo, that means you get 16 max shots to proc that skill with instead of 15. Pretty much the 4 star MG you'll want as of now. Also, the gun is Gunjesus Approved.

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, which is all you usually care about on an MG.

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.

United States Raifu, Caliber .30, Automatic, Bunny, M1918

United States Raifu, Caliber .30, Automatic, Bunny, M1918
Machine Gun ★★★★ Usable, gets better

The famous Browning Automatic Rifle. BAR-chan, Auntie, etc. The initial reward for starting the game early. With her Digimind Evolution, she becomes mandatory for ranking in datafarm. Until then, kinda sadly, not as good. However, she will suffice in a pinch compared to other MGs due to her damage buff being unconditional (and better than M60's by default...). Of note, DON'T BOTHER WITH HER TITAN CHIP. it's super old content from an age long past and is strictly inferior to the new basic ammo boxes. See her mod entry for info about her mod. Tldr for it: Good, but comes when we have other options available.
