Tips

 * Aim for the head to maximize damage.
 * This weapon is fairly accurate, back off to avoid anyone attacking back.
 * The Simple Machine Gun has a small magazine size. Take cover when reloading or finish off the target with a secondary weapon, such as the Pixel Gun or the Signal Pistol.

Counters

 * Jump and run around to avoid getting hit by too many shots while trading blows with an SMG or rifle.
 * Alternatively, this weapon deals low damage per shot, so charge the user with a close-range weapon, such as the Simple Shotgun.
 * Users of the Simple Machine Gun won't have very much staying power, as the small magazine size will impede them from entering too many fights. Retaliate when they reload.
 * Pick off its users from long ranges.

Trivia

 * The Machine Gun is based on the real world Heckler &amp; Koch MP5A2 due to the full stock added.

 * This was added into the Armory as a beginner weapon in the 8.2.1 update.
 * As a beginner weapon, its default ammo is restored automatically after the player dies.

But nowadays, all weapons also had its ammo refilled after the player dies.
