|
- High-quality wood and metal parts

|
- Always elemental
- High elemental effect chance
- Weapons often require charge time before firing; some have no charge time while some allow charging to increase damage

- Below-average stats overall
- Reloads involve throwing firearm like a grenade to reload (All remaining ammunition in magazine is discarded)
- Thrown firearms will explode after some time, or on impact with enemy or ground (The damage of these features is increased by how much ammunition was still in the magazine of the thrown weapon)
- Various reload throw mechanisms based on parts, ranging from homing, MIRV, bouncing, firing while thrown, increased splash radius when shot, and even walking turrets
|

- Plastic feel
- Bullpup design
- Stenciled brand name and hologram
- Budget-like naming scheme
- Pixel firing sounds as the magazine is emptied
