The '''Alternator SMG''', or '''Alternator''', is a [[submachine gun]] that utilizes {{ItemLink|Light Rounds}}. As the name implies, it fires through two alternating barrels.
   
  +
The twin barrel design provides a stable recoil pattern, allowing the Alternator to be effective at medium range. Compared to its cousin the [[R-99 SMG|R-99]], the Alternator has better ranged accuracy and more damage per magazine at the cost of lower raw DPS.

{{Quote|The Alternator is famous for its accuracy; featuring twin barrels that alternate fire from a single magazine, it suffers less of the barrel-wear that reduces accuracy in other firearms. However, its patented receiver and barrel assembly ensured it could only be manufactured by Burrell Industries, hampering widespread adoption during the Frontier War. After Burrell's collapse following the Blackout, the design was reverse-engineered by surviving competitors, and current models have reached nearly the same level of sophistication.}}
  +
  +
The Alternator A-2 is a double-barrel submachine gun developed by [[Burrell Defense]]. The successor to the [[Frontier War]]-era Alternator A-1, a notable visual change includes a more ergonomic handguard. It is chambered with a 10mm round and fires 1000 rounds per minute. Nicknamed the "Hatchet" due to its shape, high rate of fire, and brutally "chopping" up its targets in close quarters engagements. Its firing range is effective at 200 meters with a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s and has a muzzle energy of 510j in 9.78 m/s².
  +
  +
Tried and true, the recoil dampening system is ideal for firing while in movement. Its high speed, lightweight, compact design allows its user to operate melee weapons while accurately delivering a hail of gunfire downrange.<ref>SP-14 Hatchet Concept Art</ref>
   
; Cons
 
* Lower DPS compared to other SMGs because of the slower rate of fire.
 
* 1× headshot multiplier at 39+ meters.

The twin barrel design provides a stable recoil pattern, allowing the Alternator to be effective at medium range. Compared to its cousin the R-99, the Alternator has better ranged accuracy and more damage per magazine at the cost of lower raw DPS.

The Alternator can be enhanced with Disruptor Rounds Disruptor Rounds, which increases damage dealt against shielded targets by 20%.

Lore[ | ]

The Alternator is famous for its accuracy; featuring twin barrels that alternate fire from a single magazine, it suffers less of the barrel-wear that reduces accuracy in other firearms. However, its patented receiver and barrel assembly ensured it could only be manufactured by Burrell Industries, hampering widespread adoption during the Frontier War. After Burrell's collapse following the Blackout, the design was reverse-engineered by surviving competitors, and current models have reached nearly the same level of sophistication.

The Alternator A-2 is a double-barrel submachine gun developed by Burrell Defense. The successor to the Frontier War-era Alternator A-1, a notable visual change includes a more ergonomic handguard. It is chambered with a 10mm round and fires 1000 rounds per minute. Nicknamed the "Hatchet" due to its shape, high rate of fire, and brutally "chopping" up its targets in close quarters engagements. Its firing range is effective at 200 meters with a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s and has a muzzle energy of 510j in 9.78 m/s².

Tried and true, the recoil dampening system is ideal for firing while in movement. Its high speed, lightweight, compact design allows its user to operate melee weapons while accurately delivering a hail of gunfire downrange.[1]
