Is the Machine Gun Worth It?

Powerful, But Lacks Control

Tier Rating	B Tier

The Machine Gun is a powerful weapon, that is a no-brainer. This weapon is good for mopping down mobs with its high fire rate and damage. However, because of its high velocity rounds, it is rather hard to control at close range.
