Strategy Guide

 * Shadow Midas' Drum Gun has a large magazine size so it can be useful for attacking builds for longer periods of time.
 * It can be used as a follow up from a shotgun but can also replace a shotgun due its speed, DPS, and magazine size.

Trivia

 * Like its original counterpart, the weapon is based off of the American Thompson M1921 'Tommy Gun', specifically one often associated with American Mobsters, and not the Submachine Gun used in World War Two. Shadow Midas' Drum Gun uses the same textures as the Midas' Shadow wrap.
 * This and Jules' Drum Gun have identical statistics and function.
 * It makes "ghostly" noises when fired, however this noise no longer plays if hacked into current versions; this is also true for the version in creative.
 * This weapons reload animation is broken, causing the magazine to never be pulled out of the gun.
