This article describes a Pixel Gun 3d weapon. If you are looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun World, see Best Friend.

The Machine Gun, formerly known as the "Simple Machine Gun" and "Best Friend" (ordered from newest to oldest), is a Primary Weapon. As of 8.2.1, the Machine Gun can be utilized in multiplayer and is now used as a starter primary for beginners. Earlier, it could only be accessed in Arena, Campaign, and Deadly Games modes.

Appearance

It is a synthetic black submachine-gun, with a red firing selector near the center. It has a shoulder stock and a straight magazine. 

Strategy

It has low damage, high rate of fire, medium capacity and average mobility.

Tips

• Aim for the head to maximize damage.
• This weapon is fairly accurate, back off to avoid anyone attacking back.
• The Machine Gun has a small magazine size. Take cover when reloading or finish off the target with a secondary weapon, such as the Pixel Gun or the Signal Pistol.
• Try to replace this weapon as soon as possible as this is very underpowered when going against armored (steel or above) players

Counters

• Jump and run around to avoid getting hit by too many shots while trading blows with an SMG or rifle.
• Alternatively, this weapon deals low damage per shot, so charge the user with a close-range weapon, such as the Simple Shotgun.
• Users of the Machine Gun won't have very much staying power, as the weak damage will impede them from entering too many fights. Retaliate when they reload, or use a stronger weapon like the Desert Eagle
• Pickoff its users from long ranges.
• if you are an experienced player that has created a new account and is playing with newbies, use your skills to your advantage as starters are normally very unexperienced.
