SMG-72 Pummeler

The SMG-72 Pummeler is a submachinegun identical to the SMG-37 Defender, it has lower fire rate and damage but can stagger enemies. The concussive nature of the rounds works different from those fired from the AR-23C Liberator Concussive where the stun is treated as a status effect that can temporality incapacitate enemies and be lengthened with sustained fire. 
The Pummeler makes light work of small and medium threats as enemies shot by sustained fire are rendered helpless due to the high stagger. 
=== Role:===
Due to the weapon's low damage but high stagger it is best paired with other readily available damage sources like Sentries and squad mates. Staggering the onslaught of enemies and giving your squad mates room to maneuver and finish them off, this is especially useful against Terminids. 
== Gameplay Tips ==
* The Pummeler can stagger Hunters out of their pouncing animation and temporarily incapacitate them. Paired with the ability to shoot this weapon one-handed behind the user, this can be useful for kiting a swarm of them and other Terminids.
* Can stunlock Stalkers, go wild. 
* The stagger can also temporarily incapacitate Bile Spewers and Warriors winding up their attacks.
* Pairs well with the GP-31 Grenade Pistol, as you can consistently stun enemies to keep them at arms length. Once they're in a tight enough group, you can switch to the Grenade Pistol and reduce your enemies to stains on the ground.
* Can be paired with the Ballistic Shield.
* Adept at dealing with Automaton Devastators and Berserkers.
