Like Sheila, it has a windup time. Unlike sheila, it doesn't automatically aim when firing. If Rampart picks the wind up perk, it will also buff this gun.
Due to windup, it can take the Turbocharger Hop Up.
Wind Up + Turbocharger = basically instant wind up.
This gun uses light ammo and has over a 250 mag.
This gun deals 3 damage per bullet and fires more than 50-100 per second. (3900 rpm -> 65 rps, excluding reload time). Dps should be around 200, maybe more. The CAR seems to have a 375 dps.
Based off the gun on the nose of the "Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II" or "Warthog" but handheld and attempted balance.
Similar firing noise as the Warthog. To the right is a video of the gun testing.
As shown, the rate of fire can overheat the gun, or even spit fire out the side of it, which might also be used to counterbalance its dps if applied in game.
Apparently they use high explosive rounds, because when they show it firing at a forest, those blasts and smoke clouds reach over the trees. Let's not add that, too powerful. Just the firerate and high ammo.
Math
3*50=150
3*65=195
4*65=260
5*65=325
5 damage per bullet perhaps?
Alternatively, Mag could work similar to L-Star, allowing it up to 2 seconds of fire with a slow-ish cooldown at the same or half rate in either direction, depending on balance.
However, unlike the L-Star, this has no reload, rather it takes a while to cool off if it overheats, and damages the user. It's better not to let it overheat because A) damage, B) takes longer to cool off after overheating than otherwise.
It will cool off while stowed, even after overheating.
If firing for over 0.5 seconds, begins spitting thermite out the right side, damaging nearby enemies and structures to the user's right. Be careful if standing near defenses like Amp Wall or Castle Wall or allied traps.
For a little more balance, while spun up, user moves slower. Sheila has something like that, yes?
As a Red Tier weapon, it has 6-8 damage and over 1000 rounds. Can fire 130 rounds before needing reload or overheating. Like Red Devotion, it has both gun shield and turbocharger.
