It's got the movement, pierce, damage and reload of an assault rifle, with the ROF and capacity of a LMG or high capacity assault rifle. Unfortunately it also comes with the masteries of an LMG, rather than the superior AR masteries. People complain about the accuracy, but I've found it no worse than a CM 225 - not great for precision, but quite acceptable for waveclear, and bosses are big enough that I'd have trouble missing.

The damage is low although with 13rps the base version actually has a higher DPS (2145 base) than the 505 (1980 base), and the clip is quite adequate. It's easy to move with, being lighter than some assault rifles, and with a comparable reload   (I seriously don't understand why this isn't an assault rifle), this gun actually has a lot going for it. The RED version is less exciting, with barely half again the damage of the non-RED. Also the ammo cost.

My god the ammo cost. The energy damage and LMG type combine for 4.5x ammo cost of physical damage AR, and the high RPS means it is quite expensive to run. I expect rocket launchers to be expensive, because each shot does so much damage - it's hard to burn through money when you're only shooting 1 rocket per second and each one takes out a dozen zombies. This is a waveclear LMG, so you will churn through $3600 of ammo in just under 8 seconds with overclocked 10. That's $18 per round, or 9.166 damage per dollar.

Basically this is not the best weapon out there - the innacuracy, the low damage and the ammo cost make it a B-grade weapon, but a B-grade weapon with good augments can perform quite well for you until you get a perfect one of that thing you want. It will outperform a 505, a weapon I have found few faults with, and if you can afford to run it then it should serve you well, but there are better guns out there. The mixmaster is difficult to find, but is comparable to this gun in everything except having basically double the damage.
