| − | With high close-up accuracy and excellent rate of fire, the machine pistol is great for low-skill shooters, and has a respectable overall damage output. It easily outclasses the [[autopistol]] and goes toe-to-toe with the [[pump shotgun]]. It is cheap to manufacture, and commonly carried by earlygame [[raider]]s. However, almost every ranged weapon outranges the machine pistol, and armor penetration is unsuprisingly low. | + | With high close-up accuracy and excellent rate of fire, the machine pistol is great for low-skill shooters, and has a respectable overall damage output.

The machine pistol is best suited as a close-quarters engagement weapon, also being good hit-and-run tactics due to its very short warmup/cooldown cycle. It's ill-advised to use the machine pistol as a hunting weapon since it'll easily send animals into a manhunting rage. | The machine pistol is best suited as a close-quarters engagement weapon, also being good hit-and-run tactics due to its very short warmup/cooldown cycle.

| − | The low per-shot damage also makes it slightly worse for killing than raw DPS would suggest. As a result of this, survivors will usualy have many bleeding gunshot wounds to tend to. Therefore, it's advisable to use at least [[herbal medicine]] to be able to patch up multiple wounds per tend, unless you're confident that your doctors can patch each individual wound quickly enough. | + | The low per-shot damage also makes it slightly worse for killing than the raw DPS would suggest.

Overall, the machine pistol is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 12, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | Overall, the machine pistol is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 12, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | ||
