Description
Affectionately dubbed "The Tickler", this chain gun is a single barrel belt driven weapon that packs a hefty punch.

The Hawkeye Repeater Rifle is a grade 2 Weapon block manufactured by Hawkeye. Like all Hawkeye blocks, it can be crafted with a Hawkeye Fabricator.

It has 1 attachment point(s) and takes up 2 cell(s).

Usage

The Repeater Rifle is a great replacement to Venture's Hail Fire Rifle as it trades off slightly in rotating speed, accuracy, projectile velocity, fire rate and KB for a lot more damage - Almost as twice as high as the Hail Fire Rifle. It is also just as compact, so placement won't be of a great concern. A similarity is that they will make a significant difference only if a large number of them are installed on the tech but when they are, they will provide some devastating firepower, wearing down shields and shredding through blocks like they're made of paper.

The biggest disadvantage is that it costs a lot more to both craft and purchase. One would have to gather a lot of materials or otherwise salvage them from enemies if possible. But even then, it's a ballistic weapon that shoots simple bullets, so it should not be hard to leave multiple ones intact.

Trivia

• A chain gun uses an external power source to cycle its action instead of siphoning energy from fired cartridges.
• The Rifle itself appears to be based off the M230 Chain Gun.
  • The reasoning behind calling it a Rifle is Currently Unknown.
