Molot

"Effective at medium range. High accuracy. Outperformed by weapons with higher rate of fire at short range"

Introduction
The Molot (previously AC Molot) is a light medium-long range rifled gun. Unlike the punisher, it is not a gatling type auto cannon. It fires 5 rounds per second, has a magazine of 70 rounds and requires a 10 second reload time. It has a maximum range of 800m and an effective range of 500m. The bullets will fire straight from the end of the barrel if the target is out of range. At level 1, it inflicts a total of 200 damage points per shot.

As a light hardpoint weapon, it is usually mounted in groups of 2, 3 or even 4, as a concentrated fire of Molots can prove efficient in mid-range combat.

The Molot is probably one of the most versatile weapons in the game. It can tear up robots at mid to long range and isn’t too bad in close combat either, although other weapons such as the Punisher and Pinata surpass the Molot at ranges below 300m.

Molots have their medium hardpoint cousin, Molot Mk2, with same rate of fire but higher damage per bullet.
