About

The BRT7 Burst Fire Gun (also known as the "Burt") is the Gunner's alternative secondary weapon. It is a handgun with a long barrel and a slender profile. The weapon's magazines are stored internally, and the port is accessed by pulling the knob above the weapon's handle to reveal it.

The Burt fires three bullets in a rapid burst with one pull of the trigger. One burst of bullets all follow the same spread pattern, though rapid fire with the weapon will cause bursts to fly in random directions. At base level, six bursts can be fired without needing to reload.

The Burt carries a plentiful amount of reserve ammo and can be modified to be a highly adaptable sidearm which performs well in a variety of situations. Careful aim with the Burt can be lethal, as one burst is usually enough to take down smaller enemies like Glyphid Grunts. The weapon also remains decently accurate and has limited spread growth, allowing it to be accurate even on the move.

Although the Burt is powerful, it deals much less damage compared to the "Bulldog" Heavy Revolver, with a lower per-shot damage and reduced range. However, some players may be more attracted to the Burt due to its more forgiving operations and much better fit as a sidearm, compared to the grey area the Bulldog finds itself in. Asides from lower damage however, the Burt is a relatively flawless weapon – while not an exceptionally good firearm, its adaptability makes it excellent for all manner of situations in the depths of Hoxxes IV.

Overclocks

BRT7 Burst Fire Gun [Expand/Collapse]
Overclock	Effect	In Game Description	Price
Composite Casings	+36 Max Ammo +1 Rate of Fire	"Lighter rounds that permit a shorter delay between bursts and you can carry a few more of them as well. What's not to like?"	7950 Credits 140 Croppa 100 Magnite 75 Enor Pearl
Full Chamber Seal	+1 Damage -0.2s Reload Time	"Meticulous sealing lets you get a bit more power out of each round and the attention to detail improves how easily the magazine slots in."	7850 Credits 75 Jadiz 110 Magnite 120 Bismor
Compact Mags	+84 Max Ammo -1 Rate of Fire +0.4s Reload Time	"You can carry even more ammo but the rate of fire needs to be toned back to avoid a jam and please take more care while reloading."	7350 Credits 75 Jadiz 135 Magnite 105 Umanite
Experimental Rounds	+9 Damage -30 Max Ammo -6 Magazine Size	"A new shape to the bullet delivers a lot more damage but it's odd size means fewer rounds in the clip and a bit less ammo overall."	8550 Credits 75 Jadiz 130 Magnite 100 Enor Pearl
Electro Minelets	+Electro Minelets -2 Damage -12 Magazine Size	"After impacting terrain, these high-tech bullets convert in to electro-minelets that will electrocute anything unfortunate enough to come close.
