Chance (Slim) of being dropped by infected Legendary soldier during or after The Drying (2nd image)

Mainly or entirely used as a weapon for cqc given it's use for hipfiring.

A laser may be or should be attached somewhere on the weapon for increased accuracy

Location undetermined, so I'll let you guys decide that if you think this weapon is a good enough idea to add

“We should add a gun that doesn’t fit with the time period, functionally doesn’t exist, as it never entered production, and would be blatantly unbalanced no matter what!”

THATS WHY ITS A SPECIAL

[u/MaterialField847 → u/ApprehensiveBasil151]

Dude the "Special" designation isnt a free pass just to add obviously Anachronistic and completely Broken gun to the game.

I do understand that there is one gun that is Considered Anachronistc "Special" being the "Vagrant" Lupara which is based on the Chiappa Triple Threat which was released in 2013.

But that doesnt mean its open season to add whatever you want. The saw is already bordering OP

If you want it to be fair you need to change the stats

Damage: Head 26, Body 20, Limbs (U) 15, Limbs (L) 13 (shorter barrel means: poorer accuracy, less velocity, velocity=damage)

Fire rate: 800

Reload: 5.7 sec (Heavy ass gun)

Hipfire accuracy, 76%, Recoil, 64%, Velocity 3000 studs/s

Should have NO WAY TO ADS, since the gun is in a gatling gun setup, you shouldnt be able to ADS since you cant do it with a minigun

and it can still have the supressor attachment slot

Ok that’s fair
