Raw Reference Notes

From the 7 Aug 2026 closed alpha (25 weapons). Bulkhead have confirmed 37 weapons at Early Access launch, so this list is incomplete and any entry may change or be cut. No official stat sheet has ever been released.

RPM/muzzle velocity are the platform's own baseline figures for this build. Damage has never been published for this weapon even though the source explicitly frames damage+RPM as its "two base figures" — only RPM actually appears, so damage stays blank rather than guessed. Magazine size isn't published either.
