== Strategy Guide ==
* The Drum Gun can be well suited for taking out opponent's builds. 
* Its large magazine makes it a lot less punishing than most SMGs. 
* The Drum Gun's best use is as a close range secondary, while running a Tactical AR as a primary, due to it's use of Medium Bullets. 
=== Counters ===
* The Drum Gun has a lot of horizontal recoil, meaning it is mostly unsuitable at longer ranges. Keeping enough distance for this to be a problem (around 2 tiles), is an effective counter. 
* Most SMGs have a higher DPS than the Drum Gun, so in most close range fights, unless the opponent hits a headshot, most other SMGs will win.
