- Aim very well, since it does not have much ammo on use.

- Make sure to reload frequently.
- Use this weapon in Realistic Brawl because it can kill in around 3 shots.
Counters[]
- Pick off its user(s) from long range, but be aware of the scope.
- Any one-shot weapons will do the trick.

Trivia[]
- This weapon is from the Super Soldier Event set along with the Overseer and Instigator.
- It is based on the OTs-14 Groza (with a GP-30 underbarrel grenade launcher)..
- Interestingly, Groza is Russian for "Storm", which explains what weapon it is based from.
- This is the first Primary weapon-based from the real-world that fire explosive rounds upon firing, though the second automatic primary to have explosive rounds, because the first one to do so is the Impulse Rifle.
- Like most Primaries with a grenade launcher, the said attachment is just for cosmetic purposes.
- It is 6-7 shots, but only if you directly hit the enemy. Otherwise, it's 8-9 shots.
- One of its skins, Asimov, is based on a Counter Strike weapon skin, spelled "Asiimov". It also appears on the Overseer and the Instigator.
