Burstfire SMG

The Burstfire SMG is a primary weapon receiver that is available in Blacklight: Retribution.

Weapon Overview

The Burstfire SMG is a Primary Receiver that is unlocked at Agent Level 13. It fires 4 rounds when the trigger is pulled. It has a fast reload speed and low recoil, but low damage and range. With low damage and low fire rate, it will take 2-3 bursts to kill, and 1 if all four bullets hit the target.

This weapon is strictly recommended for close-quarters engagement without aiming down the sights, as it shares the same accuracy as the Tactical SMG, though only fired in bursts while delivering 10% more damage.

Tactics

Short ranged open sights are the best for the Burstfire SMG. The 28 round magazine capacity limits the user to only 7 bursts. The option of an Extended magazine increases the maximum amount of ammunition in the magazine to 40 rounds, allowing 10 bursts. The best muzzle types would be ones which increase the damage output on the Burstfire SMG. This allows the single damage of each bullet to be stacked adding to the total damage, as accuracy modifying muzzles rarely decrease the recoil or increase accuracy. Rapid firing of this weapon greatly increases the spread and recoil of the weapon (remember, this is still a Sub-Machine Gun), so paced shots are recommended at a range.
