       Striker 45
       By: Gordontonio Date: February 17, 2020, 11:58 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I unlocked the Striker 45 last night. I didn't like how this
       weapon feels, even if I ended up in third place in the match I
       played using it without attachments. Attachments improve its
       performance a bit but its low magazine capacity does not make it
       very useful for someone who is trigger-happy.  :)

       Not a top SMG. It turned out to be not a bad SMG after levelling
       it up. I put it at the level of the MP5. I liked the
       configuration below:
       [list type=decimal]
       [li]Muzzle: Muzzle Break[/li]
       [li]Barrel: 400mm Stainles Steel[/li]
       [li]Optic: 4.0x Flip Hybrid[/li]
       [li]Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip[/li]
       [li]Ammunition: 45 Round Mags[/li]
       [/list]

       Its another gun.
       I will kill people with it.
       I will get it gold.
       Whether the next CoD has come out by this point is another
       topic!

       I need to use the .45 Hollow Point rounds again, but I found out
       the hard way they are a TWO ROUND BURST.
       I got killed a few times until I realized that. There is another
       slot to unlick for ammo and hopefully it will be 40 rounds of
       regular bullets (because 25 rounds is not enough—I agree with
       you [member=3]Gordontonio[/member] )
       I will report back if it takes 2 trigger squeeze to kill w/ 45
       HP or if it takes 3.
       2 might be ok (4 bullets total) but I think 3 squeezes and you
       might as well use the FR 5.56 or the FAL.

       This weapon feels actually good in Shipment using the PBX 7 Holo
       Sight optic instead, keeping all other attachments as listed
       above.

       Ok so I tested it out, and shot someone in the back and it took
       two squeezes of the trigger (4 bullets)
       But then I domed (headshot) 2 other people and it only took one
       trigger squeeze.
       I died too often using it though, so until I unlock the bigger
       magazine, I will use the regular bullets (9mm?)
       Going from using the Bizon, where you hardly ever have to
       reload, to using the Striker-45 is very tough.

       Right, I have just got this one gold using a variety of
       attachment variations and my opinion of it is:
       1)  Range - very hit and miss on long-shots
       2)  Accuracy - again very hit and miss
       3)  Damage - Pretty good close up but you have to be right on
       the money to get distance kills otherwise just hit markers
       4)  Standard ammo capacity - now I don't really like having to
       use a slot to up the mag size on guns and the standard capacity
       was a real gun killer for me.  You generally get a feel for how
       many bullets you have used with a gun but that doesn't seem to
       be true for this one.  I don't know if the fire rate is anything
       to do with it but I have had many times when I could swear there
       was some left in the mag but I am just clicking on an empty
       chamber and get rinsed by some tool who must be thinking 'he is
       pointing his gun, why isn't he shooting me?'
       Overall, not really a contender for a regular loadout.
       Glad I got it gold but it is now retired to the 'Guns I Won't Be
       Using Again By Choice' cupboard.
       I hope it gets along with the SCAR, the Uzi and all of the LMG's
       :)

       I am wondering if this might be a glitch or a feature because I
       have experienced the same a few times with different weapons. I
       use the extended magazines as soon as I unlock them. It also has
       happened after reloading and having fired a few shots.

       I tried it for a couple matches. Wasn't too bad, but with
       playing Rust full time currently, I really don't feel like
       leveling it up right now to see how well it really could be.
       Especially when it would be a secondary weapon for me, so it
       would take a bit longer to level. Also right now I'd rather
       stick with the Bizon. I'll get around to playing with the 45. I
       overheard at least 2 players on mics saying it was good. Have to
       see for myself though.
