Iron Slug needs the BIGGEST BUFF IN VIDEO GAMING HISTORY

Here are the statistics I have gathered on my Iron Slug

Positives:
- Can make enemies "flinch"
- ....Normal damage?

Negitives:

- 2 Bullet clip size
- Slow rate of fire
- Annoying push-back for player
- No strafing while firing.
- Can't stun, unlike it's 4 star version
- Very difficult charge attack
- A slash from the Combuster on something it's weak against does more damage than a bullet from the Iron Slug.
- Nearly all other guns out-damage it, both per magazine and DPS.

And with the inclusion of the Supernova/Polaris (two guns that can flinch AND push back enemies), Iron Slug is becoming the worst weapon in my arsenal by far. We need this thing buffed. I'm almost requesting it to do double damage, but whatever happens, this weapon needs HELP.

For pennies a day you can

For pennies a day you can help these iron slugs achieve there weapon perfection.
A buff would sound nice for that gun though +1

Support. I don't think I have ever seen an Iron Slug being used, and just about all of the reasons are listed here.

I'm sorry, but I just needed to bump this thread.

I think you guys deserve an insight to why I made this thread.

So I was in jigsaw valley with 2 other friends, in that one place where you have to run through the spikes with Gunpuppies shooting at you. I get separated, so I decided to shoot one of them down with my Iron Slug, while another was shooting at me from behind. I was thinking "Well, good thing I didn't get Callahan, because this gun should be designed to take these guys out! It's strong, it's at level 10, and it's normal!" So I opened fire, BANG, BANG, click-click.

BANG BANG, click-click.

All the while I'm trying my hardest to dodge bullets from 2 tier 3 gunpuppies.

BANG BANG, click-click.

I'm doing just over 100 damage? Charge attacks from my Blitz Needle do more damage...PER BULLET.

BANG BANG, click-click.

God, not being able to move is horrible. It takes forever to fire and reload, and I can't run very fast between shots.

BANG BANG, click-click.

10 shots?! WHAT?! WHAT?! This is a high damage, slow fire gun. If I'm sacrificing fire rate, stun ability, and movement, then I need POWER.

BANG.

11 shots. It's dead.

One gunpuppy, 11 shots with what is supposed to be the strongest gun in the game. If you don't know how difficult is it to fight a iron slug, go buy a Punch Gun. It's a 0 star gun so its very cheap. Go to the advanced training hall, and fire it 11 times.

That's how long it took.

It should just have a 50%

It should just have a 50% chance to stun. Would be awesome.

Well,

Magnus line is great if you're a gunner. If you're not, it sucks.

"Magnus line is great if you're a gunner. "
It's good to have guns as a sidearm. I see so many people fail and try to tank with trokia, iron slug, and full plate mail.
