stats!

looks like NC might have got some of their designs from NS lol.

Been waiting for this as soon as it hit the game files. Seems like it will hopefully have the .75x ADS strafe speed that the Orion and SVA-88 so wonderfully possess -- pretty excited about that for my TR/NC if so.

That gun looks sweet. Need stats.

Time to save certs.

Given the history of previously released NS weapons, I think some fair projections are:

RoF: ~652
Dmg: 143@10m 125@65m
Clip Size: ~50-75 Rounds
Reload Time: ~2.5-3 Seconds For Short and Long reloads.

Don't you think that it might have higher ammo capacity? The AR and Carbine have has atleast 5 more rounds than faction specific ones, except for the TRs.

No, because the other trademark of NS weapons is their fast reload time.

I'm personally leaning towards a quick reloading 75 round LMG. I suppose they don't have to go in the usual increments and make it 80 rounds or something like that. But I think they'll not want too many rounds in a clip so as not to make the reload time too good.

I suspect, like the other NS weapons, that this thing will be a laser of a LMG. Low vertical recoil with a very slight left pull.

My prediction would be a 55/220 ammo pool LMG with the same firing rate and a slightly better damage per bullet than other NS weapons.

[Emperor Newt]

Looks cool. Was hoping to see more NS weapons in the near future!

[Rolfski]

I've never been impressed by NS weapons performance but if you like them, chances are you will like this one as well.

As far as I can tell, NS weapons are designed to be a sustained mid-range-only firing solution: accurate, controllable, decent mag size, fast reload but with a low dps and horrible first recoil.

Agreed. I think that it's gonna have an offset mag size like the NS 11P (35 rounds... wtf). I do love the reload time on them, though the slower rate of fire reminds me too much of an NC weapon, so I don't use the NS weapons too much (I don't really play medic IG, and ain't paying money for an NS weapon ATM)

[Zakuak]

Oh wicked! I love me some LMG fun!

[CrimsonTemplar]

So when can we expect this little gem, to hit the shelves so to speak?

[Canaris]

Ohhh a new LMG, that shall be tested out although after how the NS-11c handles I'm very curious to see if a little hunch mine plays out.

here's a little hint, Planet-Strike
