The '''"Stubby" Voltaic SMG''' is the [[Engineer]]'s alternate primary weapon.

A node on the side of the gun lights up and powers down whenever there is a magazine inserted into or removed from the gun, respectively. For some reason, the Engineer never makes use of the massive foregrip on the weapon, despite the fact it would help to dampen recoil. |

− | The biggest flaw the Stubby has is its seemingly low range, being on par with the [[Driller]]'s [[CRSPR Flamethrower|primary]] [[Cryo Cannon|weapons]] – potentially even worse, as the bullets have a large spread pattern when firing for long durations. Tap-firing with the weapon is an excellent way to extend the weapon's effective range, since the spread is minimal for the first few shots fired. The gun's base recoil is quite strong, so using this tactic will require some manual readjustment of aim with each volley. This weapon is capable of its highest damage output within close-to-medium range, where its spread and recoil matter much less. Getting up close to enemies might sound dangerous, but the Stubby is more than capable of dealing with all but the toughest foes in the hands of a capable user. |

About
The "Stubby" Voltaic SMG is the Engineer's alternate primary weapon. Fitting to its nickname, it is a short and stout submachine gun which has had an electrical generator wired into its firing mechanisms. A node on the side of the gun lights up and powers down whenever there is a magazine inserted into or removed from the gun, respectively. For some reason, the Engineer never makes use of the massive foregrip on the weapon, despite the fact it would help to dampen recoil.
As the gun's name suggest, it comes equiped with electrical features; by default every shot fired has a one-in-five chance to electrocute the target, damaging them over time while also slowing their movement. Although the chance to electrocute a target sounds low, consider that this 20% chance is happening with every shot, and with how many bullets are coming out of the Stubby, the chance to shock a target is much higher than one may think.

Unique Modifications
Conductive Bullets
Conductive Bullets allows the weapon to deal an additional +30% Electrical damage to enemies that are under an electrical field. Electric damage does not benefit from this bonus.
Electric Arc
Electric Arc causes each bullet fired out of the Stubby to have a chance to proc an Area of Effect lightning attack. If the bullet either procs a new Electrocute DoT on an enemy, or refreshes an existing Electrocute DoT, then there's a 25% chance that Electric Arc's AoE will proc too. For example: if the listed Electrocution chance is 20%, then Electric Arc has a 20% * 25% = 5% chance to proc. Upon activation, Electric Arc will inflict a standard Electrocute DoT on any creature within a 2.75m radius of the primary target's center of mass.
Unique Overclocks
Turret Arc
Turret Arc is an Unstable Overclock that electrically charges a sentry whenever it is hit by a bullet that would normally electrocute a creature. Charged sentries electrocute anything in a small area around it, damaging and slowing it. If 2 or more sentries within a 15 meters radius are charged, they will also create an electric arc between each other, applying the same damage to anything caught in between them and slow effect to enemies.
- Damage Per Tick: 6 Electric (1 Electric for Friendly Fire)
- Tick Interval: 0.2s
- Radius: 2m
- Movement Speed: ×0.2 (Does not affect Dwarves)
- Duration of sentry charge: 20s
Turret EM Discharge
Turret EM Discharge is an Unstable Overclock that triggers an electrical explosion around a sentry whenever it is hit by a bullet that would normally electrocute an enemy.
- Area Damage: 60 Electric
- Maximum Damage Radius: 3m
- Radius: 5m
- Minimum Damage: 50%
- Fear Factor: 50%
- Friendly Fire: 10%
- Armor Break: 0%
- Cooldown: 1.5 sec per Turret

Trivia
- The weapon's main body - the Subata 312 - is likely produced by the same firearms manufacturer who made the Subata 120, the Driller's pistol.
- The weapon's electric damage does not actually affect the amount of damage taken by electrocuted enemies.
