“Evangeline”

The “Evangeline” is a hybrid Light Machine Gun/Assault Rifle.
== Appearance ==
The weapon is forest green, with yellow and violet details. It bears slight resemblance to a DP-28, but not much. The magazine is a horizontal, rotary drum fixed to the top. The weapon has large peep sights affixed to it which serve no purpose in-game. The handle and handgrips are made of wood.
== Strategy ==
=== Tips ===
* Use this weapon in close range, as the high spread makes it ineffective in long ranges.
* It does, however, feature first-shot accuracy, meaning it can be used to deal chip damage in long ranges. Just don’t expect to get much done.
* The high rate of fire makes it ideal for covering areas, and in close range it can shred opponents’ armor in an instant. 
* This is a good weapon for rushing the enemy’s front lines, as the energy shield can reduce the damage you take.
* The weapon has a long equip time, so be prepared before you fire.
* The reload is also extremely long, so don’t get caught off guard.
* The poisoning is very weak, but each hit increases its power.
* Try not to have this weapon out constantly, as it is extremely heavy.
* Treat it like a very weak and inaccurate version of the Excalibur.
=== Counters ===
* Stay away from these users and pick them off.
* Do not panic if you take a couple hits, as the individual shots don’t do much damage, but they can add up.
* Wait for the users to run out of ammo, then engage.
* Area damage weapons can really ruin their day. 
* Shotguns will sometimes be able to catch them off guard, but it is very dangerous.
== Weapon Setups ==
Equip a good sniper for long range combat, and a fast-firing backup for when you run out of ammo. When equipping the weapon, your resistance will effectively go up, and combining this with armor bonus weapons will let you tank tremendous amounts of damage. 
== Trivia ==
* The weapon itself actually has very good accuracy, but it has tremendous recoil.
* It was originally designed for use by Fadarians, who are much stronger than humans and would therefore be able to manage the recoil. It was used to great effect but eventually fell out of use in favor of melee weapons.
* “Evangeline” is also the name of a concussive launcher. 
* This is the second Primary to feature an energy shield, the first being the Excalibur.
