Editing Tommy gun (section)

== Tactics ==
The selective fire on the Tommy gun allows a player optional control over the firing mode. Semi-automatic allows for players to make individual shots, suitable for killing weak specimens without wasting ammo. Fully-automatic can also be used in a similar fashion if players tap the primary fire button only very briefly, but also gives the option of firing in short bursts or in longer streaks if the situations require it. It has low recoil; the muzzle rise is less than that of the [[Bullpup]], but the horizontal recoil is greater. The recoil has an overall pattern of slowly going directly upwards, so slowly aiming downwards as you fire all-out can counter it, somewhat.

It is lighter than most of the assault rifles, and can be carried together with the [[SCARMK17]], leaving 4 weight blocks free. This allows you to carry both guns plus any pair of pistols, a [[katana]], an [[MP7M medic gun|MP7M]] or [[MP5M medic gun]], or an [[M79 grenade launcher]]. The M79 in particular allows the Commando to damage [[Fleshpound]]s more easily than his rifles would.

As an off-perk weapon, it has limited usefulness, but may be suitable for some Field Medics and Demolition Experts as a backup weapon, especially against Stalkers.
