// PVP ANALYSIS

Legendary battle rifle. 25 damage per bullet, 2-round burst (50 per trigger). Strong armor pen. 76 range. Buffed significantly in 1.17.0: reload 4.5s to 3.5s, time between shots 0.9s to 0.7s, -50% recoil. Embark clearly wants this to compete in PVP.

// SHOTS TO KILL (PVP)

Shield	Body	Head
None	4	2
Light (Green)	5	3
Medium (Blue)	6	4
Heavy (Purple)	7	5

// THE MATH

25 damage per bullet, 50 per 2-round burst (2.0x HS = 100 head per burst). 2-burst head kills through None. 3 bursts through Light. With the 1.17.0 reload and fire rate buffs, this is a legitimate PVP option.

// VERDICT

The legendary that finally works. If you find one, it's worth running.
