 * name = Rookie Machine Gun
 * image = The Rookie Machine Gun is an automatic weapon and the first gun available and is given to you free as a welcome gift at the beginning of the Game. It boasts a 30 round clip that can be upgraded to a 45 round clip if + Ammo in machine guns skill is bought. It has low Damage, decent Range, decent Accuracy and good Agility. It also has a very fast fire rate and reload speed.

Strategy
The Rookie Machine Gun's strength lies mostly in its Agility so if you use this weapon, use the Run and Gun technique and evade the bullets as they fly towards you. In close combat, try and constantly loop around the opponent to confuse him, throw off his aim, and extend the amount of time you have to deal Damage to him. However, you must be careful with this weapon as it runs out of ammo very quickly and may not kill the enemy completely if you did not aim correctly (Unless you have the + Ammo in machine guns perk). Since each kill requires the whole clip, it is best used against single targets and if lucky, a group of wounded enemies.

This weapon is not recommended to be used as your main weapon as you can get better weapons than this, but use it to challenge yourself. It is also fun to use when having fun.

Advantages

 * The Rookie Machine Gun has a fast rate of fire which can easily aid you in close combat battles.
 * Players can move quickly with this weapon due to its good Agility.

 * It has auto aim like most weapons.
 * It has a decent reloading time.

Disadvantages

 * The Rookie Machine Gun is very weak compared to all the other weapons in the game.
 * Its Range is rather small, so you almost always have to go into close combat situations with this weapon.
 * Slightly inaccurate when moving.

Mike Hunter uses this gun as his signature weapon, and it's not a surprise that he is seen as an icon of the Game and one of the easiest bots to fight as he is one of the first enemies fought alongside Masked Viper. Like many bots, he is very inaccurate with his weapon but may finish you off when you're at low Health.
