Stutter

The Stutter is a burst-fire Auxiliary Machine Gun. It performs well against hull, average against cover, and poor against shielding.
== Acquisitions Entry ==
The 27mm Stutter is an anti-aircraft weapon that's been seeing a lot of action against ground units. High maneuverability vehicles, light mechs in particular, benefit well from the burst-fire configuration. The Belter's great but only the real pros can stay zeroed in on a target while hauling ass (always a good idea in a Sparrow or Marlowe). Most pilots do much better with "shoot and scoot", and with its cycle time the Stutter's a natural fit for it.I don't know the particular metal composition for the rounds this thing eats, I just know it's some special config that'll punch through concrete and steel like a railgun. Downside is hardshields have a much easier time with deflection, so keep that in mind.-MB
== Notes & Strategy ==
The full burst packs great deal of hull damage on target.
The Stutter is a great way to potentiate a DPS-dealer (damage per second) setup, with awesome results. A combo of upclose Shotgun-like weapon (Parliament or Broiler), followed by a Stutter burst and then an AK pulse delivers an absurd amount of damage in a minimal window of time - though frontal engagement on shield-heavy opponents (Spacers Ultras) may prove frustrating. But do not "stick around" if targets remain standing, your death may come inbetween the cooldown of your guns. Having a Stutter also means good output of damage downrange, beyond hostiles' field of view - an added versatility.
Outstanding damage on buildings actually. Two bursts will demolish an Orbital Gun.
The Stutter is prickly, though. It needs room to work its strengths. Cooldown is terrifyingly slow when things get hot and you have many contacts in front and around of you. A Brigador needs even more nerve to keep it cool under fire while also leading hits on moving targets.
Burst-fire savvy Brigadors may also enjoy the Lockdown.
