The Python is a submachine gun with an extremely high Fire Rate and a powerful Unique Ability that lowers the Non-Attribute resistance of your target by aiming at their Weak Points. Despite its strong Recoil and low base Critical Hit Rate, it remains an excellent weapon because you can equip Modules to compensate for its weaknesses.

By using Recoil modules, you can gain better control of the Python, making it easier to target the enemy's Weak Points and trigger the weapon's unique ability. Additionally, you can equip modules that increase the weapon's Fire Rate and Magazine capacity to improve damage output.
