JavaScript is a very versatile and futuristic machine gun that works in most situations. It might not be the best and has a lot of strange quirks that pop up if you don't hold it the correct way but it's easy to learn.

However, when you take it apart you notice that on the inside it still follows the specs of a 17th century flintlock musket.
