Tri Barrel Plasma Rifle

The Tri Barrel Plasma Rifle is the 15th weapon available, unlocked at level 22 and costs: $9.99. It was added during the 1.6 update and is an MIB weapon.

Strategy
It has the stats of the Shotgun, but it is more suitable for long to medium combat. Note that it is an explosive weapon with an exceptional blast radius. Even if the blast animation is small, the blast radius is actually pretty large, having a diameter of about 14 centimeters or more. The plasma bullet travels slowly, so it is easy to miss the shot. It is recommended to shoot at the ground or something near the target, as the resulting explosion can catch the enemy. It is also good against Blunderbuss players by shooting at long range at the ground twice or more before he can even reach the player.

Despite having the same stats as the Shotgun, it designed to be a more long-ranged weapon, due to the fact that the bullets are explosive. Using it at close-range is risky due to the risk of auto-kill. Use this weapon like the Plasma Punch, but be aware that the bullets from this weapon are stronger than those from the Plasma Punch. This allows it to kill unarmoured players in one shot. However, the reload speed is extremely slow. Coupled with its small clip, it may allow enemies to kill the player. Therefore it is recommended to reload when not in a skirmish.

Advantages

 * The Tri Barrel Plasma Rifle inflicts a high amount of damage, killing low-armored players in one shot.
 * The projectile has a large damage radius.
 * The projectile can travel far away, making long ranged kills possible.

Disadvantages

 * The Tri Barrel Plasma Rifle's projectile is slow, making it easily avoidable at medium/long range.
 * It uses a pump-action function, making you vulnerable if you did not kill the enemy completely.
 * Low ammo capacity (4).

Trivia

 * Despite the fact that the rifle is "tri-barreled", it shoots only one plasma bullet at a time.
 * Occasionally when reloading, the reload animation lasts longer. This has no effect whatsoever on the weapon actually reloading.
 * This gun was seen in the end of the second Men In Black movie.
