Drum Gun

The Drum Gun is a Assault Rifle in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Season 4. The Drum Gun has three variants: Midas' Drum Gun, Jules' Drum Gun and Shadow Midas' Drum Gun.

Functionality
The Drum Gun is a fully automatic, fast firing, closer ranged weapon. It is best used like an SMG, dealing high amounts of damage in a close quarters environment, but being much weaker at extended ranges due to poor accuracy. As it stands, the Drum Gun plays closer to a Submachine Gun than an Assault Weapon, similar to the Light Machine Gun.

Stats
Drum Guns range from dealing 21 to 22 Damage per shot (168 to 176 Damage per second). All Drum Guns use. The Drum Gun has a headshot multiplier of 1.5x. The Drum Gun is a hitscan weapon. It does not have First Shot Accuracy enabled, and will always fire a random spread of bullets, which increases with continuous fire.

Trivia

 * The weapon is based off of the American Thompson M1928 'Tommy Gun', specifically one often associated with American Depression-era Mobsters, and not the Submachine Gun used in World War II.
 * The Drum Gun has had a troubled classification as a weapon, as it functions very similar to an SMG, but uses medium ammo and is classed as an Assault Weapon. On top of this, its placement in the Creative Menu puts it next to other SMGs despite it not being classed as one there. Eliminating an enemy with the Drum Gun will show "eliminated with a rifle" in the elimination feed, which supports the classification as an assault weapon.
 * The Drum Gun was the winner of the The Unvaulting Event.
 * and variants of the weapon exist in the files. They deal 23 / 24 damage and have a 2.85/2.7s reload respectively. All other stats are the same.
 * There is no internal variant of the weapon.
